Spirit for Mid-Terms

Friends:

Having just encountered a lay student, burdened with books, heading up the steps at Dominican for a mid-term, I think of this advice from St. Francis de Sales [d. 1622]

"Undertake all your affairs with a calm and peaceable mind, and endeavor to dispatch them in order, one after another." [Introduction to the Devout Life, Part III, Chapter 10]

Peace,
John
