Finding God In All Things.

The More Completely We Focus Our Attention On Our Creator And Lord, The Less Chance There Is Of Our Being Distracted By Creatures.

We Must Speak To God As A Friend Speaks To His Friend, Servant To His Master; Now Asking Some Favor, Now Acknowledging Our Faults, And Communicating To Him All That Concerns Us, Our Thoughts, Our Fears, Our Projects, Our Desires, And In All Things Seeking His Counsel.

The Enemy Is Like A Woman, Weak In Face Of Opposition, But Correspondingly Strong When Not Opposed. In A Quarrel With A Man, It Is Natural For A Woman To Lose Heart And Run Away When He Faces Up To Her; On The Other Hand, If The Man Begins To Be Afraid And To Give Ground, Her Rage, Vindictiveness And Fury Overflow And Know No Limit.

Realize That Illness And Other Temporal Setbacks Often Come To Us From The Hand Of God Our Lord, And Are Sent To Help Us Know Ourselves Better, To Free Ourselves Of The Love Of Created Things, And To Reflect On The Brevity Of This Life And, Thus, To Prepare Ourselves For The Life Which Is Without End.

Do Not Put Faith In Constant Happiness, And Fear Most When All Smiles Upon You.
