Hell Is Full Of Good Intentions And

Souls Do Not Wish To Be Bullied, But Gently Brought Back; Such Is The Nature Of Man.

God Requires A Faithful Fulfillment Of The Merest Trifle Given Us To Do, Rather Than The Most Ardent Aspiration To Things To Which We Are Not Called.

One Great Remedy Against All Manner Of Temptation, Great Or Small, Is To Open The Heart And Lay Bare Its Suggestion, Likings, And Dislikings Before Some Spiritual Adviser; For, . . . The First Condition Which The Evil One Makes With A Soul, When He Wants To Entrap It, Is Silence.

In No Other Action Can Our Savior Be Considered More Tender Or More Loving Than In This, In Which He, As It Were, Annihilates Himself And Reduces Himself To Food, That He May Penetrate Our Souls And Unite Himself To The Hearts Of His Faithful.

Be Patient With Everyone, But Above All With Yourself. I Mean Do Not Be Disheartened By Your Imperfections, But Always Rise Up With Fresh Courage. How Are We To Be Patient In Dealing With Our Neighbour's Faults If We Are Impatient In Dealing With Our Own? He Who Is Fretted By His Own Failings Will Not Correct Them. All Profitable Correction Comes From A Calm And Peaceful Mind.
