There Is Nothing As Strong As Tenderness,

Frequent Not The Company Of Immodest Persons, Especially If They Be Also Impudent, As Is Generally The Case; ...these Corrupted Souls And Infected Hearts Scarcely Speak To Any, Either Of The Same Or A Different Sex, Without Causing Them To Fall In Some Degree From Purity; They Have Poison In Their Eyes And In Their Breath, Like Basilisks. On The Contrary, Keep Company With The Chaste And Virtuous; Often Meditate Upon And Read Holy Things; For The Word Of God Is Chaste, And Makes Those Also Chaste That Delight In It.

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.

Let Us Be What God Likes, So Long As We Are His, And Let Us Not Be What We Want To Be, If It Is Against His Intention.

Do Everything Calmly And Peacefully. Do As Much As You Can As Well As You Can. Strive To See God In All Things Without Exception, And Consent To His Will Joyously. Do Everything For God, Uniting Yourself To Him In Word And Deed. Walk Very Simply With The Cross Of The Lord And Be At Peace With Yourself.

He Who Can Preserve Gentleness Amid Pains, And Peace Amid Worry Multitude Of Affairs, Is Almost Perfect.
