To Thee, O my GodWho art infinite Love

Cross for us!!!To thee, we surrender

our All, our everything,To be consumed by theunquenchable fire of

Thy LoveWe desire to Love Thee,

It is a waste of time to be

angry about my disability.

One has to get on with life

and I haven't done badly.

People won't have time for

you if you are always angry
