"Even though we know that God’s will and
commandments apply to everyone, we do not always have the strength to fulfill
them. Now, every time we respond faithfully to a motion of the Spirit, out of
desire to be docile to what God expects of us, even if it’s something almost
insignificant of itself, that faithfulness draws grace and strength down on us.
That strength can then be applied to other areas and may make us capable of one
day practicing the commandments that up until then we had not been capable of fulfilling
entirely."
— Fr. Jacques Philippe, In the School of the
Holy Spirit, p. 20
