Ask Those Who Love Him With A

Acquire The Habit Of Speaking To God As If You Were Alone With Him, Familiarly And With Confidence And Love, As To The Dearest And Most Loving Of Friends. Speak To Him Often Of Your Business, Your Plans, Your Troubles, Your Fears - Of Everything That Concerns You. Converse With Him Confidently And Frankly; For God Is Not Wont To Speak To A Soul That Does Not Speak To Him.

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."

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

After The Love Which We Owe Jesus Christ, We Must Give The Chief Place In Our Heart To The Love Of His Mother Mary.

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