like flowers at the foot of the cross

"It is right and good that you should devote yourself to great things, to important and excellent works; but practice for the love of God those little humble virtues which spring up like flowers at the foot of the cross:the bearing of some slight misfortune, some passing infirmity,  a vexation, a disappointment, an offense, a humiliation, certain tiresome occupations at home or abroad.

As such occassions are ever recurring, what a treasure they of spiritual riches you can amass if you know how to profit by them!"

Keep it Simple, Emmanuel de Gibergues
