True, He Is Infinite Majesty, But He Is Also Infinite Goodness And Infinite Love. There Can Be No Greater Lord Than God; Neither Can There Be A More Ardent Lover Than He.

Jesus Is The Mediator Of Justice; Mary Obtains For Us Grace; For, As St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, St. Bernardine Of Siena, St. Germanus, St. Antoninus, And Others Say, It Is The Will Of God To Dispense Through The Hands Of Mary Whatever Graces He Is Pleased To Bestow Upon Us. With God, The Prayers Of The Saints Are The Prayers Of His Friends, But The Prayers Of Mary Are The Prayers Of His Mother.

The Saved Are Few, But We Must Live With The Few If We Would Be Saved With The Few. O God, Too Few Indeed They Are: Yet Amongst Those Few I Wish To Be!

The Past Is No Longer Yours; The Future Is Not Yet In Your Power. You Have Only The Present Wherein To Do Good.

Let Us Read The Lives Of The Saints; Let Us Consider The Penances Which They Performed, And Blush To Be So Effeminate And So Fearful Of Mortifying Our Flesh.

Woe To Those Who Despise Devotion To Mary! ... The Soul Cannot Live Without Having Recourse To Mary And Recommending Itself To Her. He Falls And Is Lost Who Does Not Have Recourse To Mary.

What Grieves Me Most In My Past Offenses, O My Loving God, Is Not So Much The Punishment I Have Deserved, As The Displeasure I Have Given You, Who Are Worthy Of Infinite Love.

In Temptations Against Chastity, The Spiritual Masters Advise Us, Not So Much To Contend With The Bad Thought, As To Turn The Mind To Some Spiritual, Or, At Least, Indifferent Object. It Is Useful To Combat Other Bad Thoughts Face To Face, But Not Thoughts Of Impurity.

He Who Suffers In Patience, Surfers Less And Saves His Soul. He Who Suffers Impatiently, Suffers More And Loses His Soul.

"happy He That Knows Thee, Even If He Knows Nothing Else," Says St. Augustine. If We Knew All The Sciences And Knew Not How To Love Jesus Christ, Our Knowledge Shall Profit Us Nothing To Eternal Life. But If We Know How To Love Jesus Christ, We Shall Know All Things, And Shall Be Happy For Eternity.

Many, However, Gives Themselves To God, But Preserve Still In Their Hearts Some Attachment To Creatures, Which Prevents Them From Belonging Entirely To God.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Who, For The Love You Bear To Mankind, Do Remain Night And Day In This Sacrament, Full Of Pity And Love, Awaiting, Calling, And Receiving All Who Come To Visit You; I Believe That You Are Present In The Sacrament Of The Altar; I Adore You From The Depths Of My Own Nothingness; I Thank You For The Many Graces You Have Given Me, And Especially For Having Given Me Yourself In This Sacrament.

I Love Jesus Christ And That Is Why I Am On Fire With The Desire To Give Him Souls, First Of All My Own, And Then An Incalculable Number Of Others.

"the Flowers Have Appeared In Our Land: The Time Of Pruning Is Come: The Voice Of The Turtle-dove Is Heard In Our Land." When The Soul, Like The Solitary Turtle-dove, Retires And Recollects Itself In Meditation To Converse With God, Then The Flowers, That Is, Good Desires, Appear; Then Comes The Time Of Pruning, That Is, The Correction Of Faults That Are Discovered In Mental Prayer.

The More A Person Loves God, The More Reason He Has To Hope In Him. This Hope Produces In The Saints An Unutterable Peace, Which They Preserve Even In Adversity, Because As They Love God, And Know How Beautiful He Is To Those Who Love Him, They Place All Their Confidence And Find All Their Repose In Him Alone.

St. Augustine And St. Thomas Define Mortal Sin To Be A Turning Away From God: That Is, The Turning Of One's Back Upon God, Leaving The Creator For The Sake Of The Creature. What Punishment Would That Subject Deserve Who, While His King Was Giving Him A Command, Contemptuously Turned His Back Upon Him To Go And Transgress His Orders? This Is What The Sinner Does; And This Is Punished In Hell With The Pain Of Loss, That Is, The Loss Of God, A Punishment Richly Deserved By Him Who In This Life Turns His Back Upon His Sovereign Good.

It Is A Great Mistake, As We Have Already Remarked, To Be Afraid Of Him And To Act In His Presence Like A Timid And Craven Slave Trembling With Fright Before His Master.

By The Law Of Nature, There Is No Pleasure In Suffering; But Divine Love, When It Reigns In A Heart, Makes It Take Delight In Its Sufferings.

The Way To Heaven Is Straight And Narrow: They Who Wish To Arrive At That Place Of Bliss By Walking In The Paths Of Pleasure Shall Be Disappointed; And Therefore Few Reach It, Because Few Are Willing To Use Violence To Themselves In Resisting Temptations.

Such Is The Compassion, Such The Love Which Mary Bears Us, That She Is Never Tired Of Praying For Us.

A Person May Be Baptized, And Yet Not Born Again To Grace, In Consequence Of Not Having The Necessary Dispositions At Baptism.

Let Us, At Any Rate, Give Heed To Suffer Joyfully The Crosses That God Sends Us, Because They All, If We Are Saved, Will Become For Us Eternal Joys. When Infirmities, Pains, Or Any Adversities Afflict Us, Let Us Lift Up Our Eyes To Heaven And Say, "one Day All These Pains Will Have An End, And After Them I Hope To Enjoy God Forever."

He Who Trusts Himself Is Lost. He Who Trusts In God Can Do All Things.

Our Faith Will Never Be True Unless It Is United To That Of St. Peter And The Pontiff, His Successors.

Mary Obtains Salvation For All Who Have Recourse To Her. Oh! If All Sinners Had Recourse To Mary, Who Would Ever Be Lost? ... He Who Is Protected By Her Will Be Saved; He Who Is Not Will Be Lost.

Know Also That You Will Probably Gain More By Praying Fifteen Minutes Before The Blessed Sacrament Than By All The Other Spiritual Exercises Of The Day. True, Our Lord Hears Our Prayers Anywhere, For He Has Made The Promise, 'ask, And You Shall Receive,' But He Has Revealed To His Servants That Those Who Visit Him In The Blessed Sacrament Will Obtain A More Abundant Measure Of Grace.

Your God Is Ever Beside You - Indeed, He Is Even Within You.

Whoever Prays Is Certainly Saved. He Who Does Not Is Certainly Damned. All The Blessed Have Been Saved By Prayer. All The Damned Have Been Lost Through Not Praying. If They Had Prayed They Would Not Have Been Lost. And This Is, And Will Be Their Greatest Torment In Hell: To Think How Easily They Might Have Been Saved, Just By Asking God For His Grace, But That Now It Is Too Late - Their Time Of Prayer Is Gone.

You Will Gain More By Receiving Scorn Peacefully Than If You Fasted For A Week On Bread And Water. It Is Good To Humble Ourselves; But It Is Much More Worthwhile To Accept The Humiliations That Come To Us From Others.

Before The Coming Of Jesus Christ, Men Fled Away From God And, Being Attached To The Earth, Refused To Unite Themselves To Their Creator. But The Loving God Has Drawn Them To Himself By The Bonds Of Love, As He Promised By The Prophet Osee [hosea]: "i Will Draw Them With The Cords Of Adam, With The Bonds Of Love" (11:4). These Bonds Are The Benefits, The Lights, The Calls To His Love, The Promises Of Paradise Which He Makes To Us, But Above All, The Gift Which He Has Bestowed Upon Us Of Jesus Christ In The Sacrifice Of The Cross And In The Sacrament Of The Altar.

All Would Wish To Be Saved And To Enjoy The Glory Of Paradise; But To Gain Heaven, It Is Necessary To Walk In The Straight Road That Leads To Eternal Bliss. This Road Is The Observance Of The Divine Commandments. Hence, In His Preaching, The Baptist Exclaimed: Make Straight The Way Of The Lord.

Certainly Amongst All Devotions, After That Of Receiving The Sacraments, That Of Adoring Jesus In The Blessed Sacrament Holds First Place, Is Most Pleasing To God, And Most Useful To Ourselves. Do Not Then, O Devout Soul, Refuse To Begin This Devotion; And Forsaking The Conversation Of Men, Dwell Each Day, From This Time Forward, For At Least Half Or Quarter Of An Hour, In Some Church, In The Presence Of Jesus Christ Under The Sacramental Species. Taste And See How Sweet Is The Lord.

So Great Is The Compassion Excited In Mary By Our Misery, And Such Is The Love That She Bears Us, That She Prays Constantly, And Relaxes Not Her Efforts In Our Behalf.

Saint Teresa, As The Roman Rota Attests, Never Fell Into Any Mortal Sin; But Still Our Lord Showed Her The Place Prepared For Her In Hell; Not Because She Deserved Hell, But Because, Had She Not Risen From The State Of Lukewarmness In Which She Lived, She Would In The End Have Lost The Grace Of God And Been Damned.

Let Your Constant Practice Be To Offer Yourself To God, That He May Do With You What He Pleases.

St. Jerome Declares That He Holds For Certain, And Has Learned From Experience, That He Will Never Make A Good End Who Has Led A Bad Life To The Very Last: 'this I Hold, This I Have Learned By Much Experience, That His Will Be An Evil End Who Has Always Led An Evil Life.'

There Is Nothing More Pleasing To God, Than To See A Soul Who Patiently And Serenely Bears Whatever Crosses It Is Sent; This Is How Love Is Made, By Putting Lover And Loved One On The Same Level. . .

There Is No One, After God, Who Loves Us As Much As This Most Loving Mother Does.

Yet You Should Practice The Greatest Possible Love And Confidence In Treating With Him.

The Brightest Ornaments In The Crown Of The Blessed In Heaven Are The Sufferings Which They Have Borne Patiently On Earth.

Devil Does Not Bring Sinners To Hell With Their Eyes Open: He First Blinds Them With The Malice Of Their Own Sins. He Thus Leads Them To Eternal Perdition. Before We Fall Into Sin, The Enemy Labours To Blind Us, That We May Not See The Evil We Do, And The Ruin We Bring Upon Ourselves By Offending God. After We Commit Sin, He Seeks To Make Us Dumb, That, Through Shame, We May Conceal Our Guilt In Confession.

In Obedience To Humanity, The King Of The Universe Come Down From Heaven! In Obedience To Humanity, He Lives Imprisoned On The Altar! I Shall Not Resist. He Allows Humans To Keep Him Wherever They Wish-in Monstrance Or Tabernacle; To Carry Him In Procession; To Bring Him Into The Homes Of The Sick And Dying; To Dispense Him To All, Whether Saint Or Sinner.

It Would Be The Greatest Delight Of The Seraphs To Pile Up Sand On The Seashore Or To Pull Weeds In A Garden For All Eternity, If They Found Out Such Was God's Will.

In The Great Deluge In The Days Of Noah, Nearly All Mankind Perished, Eight Persons Alone Being Saved In The Ark. In Our Days A Deluge, Not Of Water But Of Sins, Continually Inundates The Earth, And Out Of This Deluge Very Few Escape. Scarcely Anyone Is Saved.

Perfect Love Of God Means The Complete Union Of Our Will With God's.

When We Have To Reply To Anyone Who Has Insulted Us, We Should Be Careful To Do It Always With Gentleness. A Soft Answer Extinguishes The Fire Of Wrath.

The Servants Of Mary Are As Sure Of Getting To Paradise As Though They Were Already There. Who Are They Who Are Saved And Who Reign In Heaven? Surely Those For Whom The Queen Of Mercy Intercedes ... The Clients Of Mary Will Necessarily Be Saved.

He Would Be Guilty Of Mortal Sin, Because He Exposes Himself To The Danger Of Grievously Offending God. Hence, Before He Acts He Must Lay Aside The Doubt; And If He Has Not Hitherto Done So, He Must Confess It, At Least, As It Is Before God. But The Scrupulous, Who Have Doubts About Everything, Must Follow Another Rule: They Must Obey Their Confessor. When He Tells Them To Conquer Their Doubts, And To Act Against Scruples, They Should Obey With Exactness; Otherwise They Will Render Themselves Unable And Unfit To Perform Any Spiritual Exercise.

Not Only Is There No Need Of An Intermediary Through Whom He Would Want You To Speak To Him, But He Finds His Delight In Having You Treat With Him Personally And In All Confidence.

He Who Dreads Sin Avoids Dangerous Occasions, Frequently Recommends Himself To God, And Has Recourse To The Means Of Keeping Himself In The State Of Grace. He Who Acts Thus Will Be Saved; But For Him Who Lives Not In This Manner It Is Morally Impossible To Be Saved.

Love Tends To Union With The Object Loved. Now Jesus Christ Loves A Soul That Is In A State Of Grace With Immense Love; He Ardently Desires To Unite Himself With It. That Is What Holy Communion Does

How, Then, Shall God Give Himself Entirely To That One Who, Besides His God, Loves Creatures Still?

If We Should Be Saved And Become Saints, We Ought Always To Stand At The Gates Of The Divine Mercy To Beg And Pray For, As An Alms, All That We Need.

If, On A Rare Occasion, It Is Necessary To Speak With Some Severity In Order To Make A Grievous Crime Felt, We Should Always, At The Conclusion Of The Rebuke, Add Some Kind Words.
