On humility and Peace
Do not care much who is with you and who is against you;
but make it your greatest care that God is with you in everything you do.
Have a good conscience, and God will defend you securely;
no one can hurt you if God wishes to help you.
If you know how to suffer in silence, you will surely receive God's help.
Since he knows best the time and the way to set you free, resign yourself to him, for God helps you and frees you from all confusion.
It is often good for us, and helps us to remain humble, if others know our weaknesses and confront us with them.
When a man humbles himself for his faults, he more easily pleases others and mollifies those he has angered. God protects and frees a humble man; he loves and consoles a humble man;
he favors a humble man; he showers him with graces;
then, after his suffering, God raises him up to glory.
