you'll get what you've always gotten.

Leseur's Lenten Disciplines

I have jotted down in my notebook my lenten resolutions, but I want to confirm them here.  I must truly renew my life, and it is God whom I ask in all simplicity to transform me.  I want to live interiorly more spiritually, exteriorly more gently and lovingly so as to make God better loved, who is the beginning and end of my spiritual life.  More than ever I want to hide in the heart of Jesus my good works, my prayers, my self-denial, to preach only through example, to speak not at all of myself and little of God, since in this sad world one only gives scandal or annoys others by showing one's love for God.  But whenever someone approaches me, or whenever it seems to be God's will that I should approach another, I will do so simply, very prudently, and disappear as soon as the task is done, misxing no thought of self with God's action.  And should I be misunderstood, criticized, and judged unfavorably, I will try to rejoice in remembering our divine exemplar, and I will seek to be of no consequence in the eteem of others, I who am in fact so poor and little in the eyes of God.

Chopin's Ballade No. 4 in F Minor

Normally I quote words!  But this piece is so moving to me today, I want to quote it here w/out much comment.  There's one particular melody-fragment in the middle that touches me w/ its exquisite tenderness.
