No day is commonplace

One's vocation is never a far-off possibility; it is always for the present — the simple round of duties which the passing hour brings.

Someone has pictured the days as coming to us with their faces veiled — but, when they have passed beyond our recall, the draped figures become radiant, and the gifts we rejected are seen to be treasures fit for king's houses.

No day is commonplace , if only we had eyes to see the veiled splendors which lie in its opportunities, and in its plain and dull routine.

There is no duty which comes to our hand, but brings to us the possibility of kingly service, with Divine reward.
