" God works similarly in all walks of life. He calls every soul to intimate union with Himself and is constantly offering us graces and helps, often in the form of occasions to overcome temptations or for the practice of some virtue. After all, our perfection is His work, although we can interfere with it and refuse to let Him work in us. Without our consent His hands are tied. "
