Feasts And Business And Pleasure And Enjoyments

Receive Every Day As A Resurrection From Death, As A New Enjoyment Of Life.

Devotion Signifies A Life Given, Or Devoted, To God. He Therefore Is The Devout Man, Who Lives No Longer To His Own Will, Or The Way And Spirit Of The World, But To The Sole Will Of God, Who Considers God In Everything, Who Serves God In Everything, Who Makes All The Parts Of His Common Life, Parts Of Piety, By Doing Everything In The Name Of God, And Under Such Rules As Are Conformable To His Glory.

Let Every Creature Have Your Love. Love, With Its Fruits Of Meekness, Patience, And Humility, Is All That We Can Wish For Ourselves And Our Fellow Creatures. For This Is To Live In God, United With Him, Both For Time And Eternity. To Desire To Communicate Good To Everyone, In The Degree That We Can And To Which Each Person Is Capable Of Receiving From Us, Is A Divine Temper, For Thus God Stands Unchangeably Disposed Towards The Whole Creation.

Self Is The Root, The Tree, And The Branches Of All The Evils Of Our Fallen State.

He That Rightly Understands The Reasonableness And Excellency Of Charity Will Know That It Can Never Be Excusable To Waste Any Of Our Money In Pride And Folly.
