“WE must trust with a special trust all that belongs to God, or looks like Him. Our trust must be incessant, universal, prudent, and bold. In divine things there is no prudence which is not bold. It must live and work in the dark, as briskly as in the light. It must distrust itself. It must be gay, playing blithely with difficulties; for difficulties are the stones out of which all God’s houses are built. Of a truth our whole generosity with God is nothing more than the measure of our confidence in Him. To sum it up in one word, in the pursuit of sanctity confidence is progress.”

— The Rev. William Frederick Faber, “Confidence the Only Worship“
