When night comes and a backward glance shows us that everything was only fragmentary and that much of what one intended is still unfinished, and that so many things evoke deep shame and regret in a person, then it is necessary to place everything, as it is, into the hands of God and to surrender to God. Then a person will be able to rest, truly rest in God and start a new day as a new life.
(Edith Stein, Essays on Woman)
