Concerning The Harsh Treatment Of The Body

It Is Not The Finest Wood That Feeds The Fire Of Divine Love, But The Wood Of The Cross.

Occupy Yourself In Beholding And Bewailing Your Own Imperfections Rather Than Contemplating The Imperfections Of Others.

As For Joy, As Little As One Can Have Of It In This Life, Experience Shows That It Is Not The Idle Who Possess It, But Those Who Are Zealous In The Service Of God.

So With That Will Prompt And Prepared To Serve All Those Whom I Perceive To Be Servants Of My Lord, I Will Speak Of Three Things With Simplicity And Love As If I Were Speaking To My Own Soul.

May God Our Lord Never Let Me Harm Anyone When I Cannot Help Him!
