God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He as not committed to another. I have my mission; I never may know in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I have a part in a great work; I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created for naught. I shall do good, I shall do His work; I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it, if I do but keep His commandments and serve Him in my calling.
St John Henry Newman
