The Highest Degree Of Meekness Consists In

Obedience Is A Virtue Of So Excellent A Nature, That Our Lord Was Pleased To Mark Its Observance Upon The Whole Course Of His Life; Thus He Often Says, He Did Not Come To Do His Own Will, But That Of His Heavenly Father.

We May Be Excused For Not Always Being Bright, But We Are Not Excused For Not Being Gracious, Yielding And Considerate.

There Are Many Who Say To The Lord, "i Give Myself Wholly To Thee, Without Any Reserve," But There Are Few Who Embrace The Practice Of This Abandonment, Which Consists In Receiving With A Certain Indifference Every Sort Of Event, As It Happens In Conformity With Divine Providence, As Well Afflictions As Consolations, Contempt And Reproaches As Honor And Glory.

There Is No Artifice As Good And Desirable As Simplicity.

Every Moment Comes To Us Pregnant With A Command From God, Only To Pass On And Plunge Into Eternity, There To Remain Forever What We Have Made Of It.
