You are apostolic stone falling into lake to produce ripples, persevere in your established place, strengthen your will so God can make you leaders, be generous even to point of folly, burn like hidden torch setting fire to all you touch, never praise knowledge of those who attack the Church, see with calm/peaceful/intense eyes of eternity & generate spiritual electricity, have no enemies - only friends, don't disclose your apostolate unless helping someone directly, let dedication pass unnoticed like Jesus' did for 30 years.
