Maxims and counsels of St. Francis de Sales for every day of the year

by Saint de Sales Francis

92.

My commandment is, that you do like little children; while they feel their mother holding them by the sleeve, they go on boldly and run about everywhere, nothing daunted by the falls that are caused by the weakness of their legs. Thus, while God holds you by your good-will to serve Him, go on boldly, undaunted by your little stumblings, provided you cast yourself into his arms and give Him the kiss of charity.
