Some Sayings of Mary Ward

God is rich enough for us all.

Freedom to refer all to God.

This is verity: to do what we have to do well.  Many think that it is nothing todo ordinary things. But for us it is.

That we are such as we appear and appear such as we are.

Be merry and doubt not our dear Master.
