God Will Either Shield You From Suffering

Anxiety Is The Greatest Evil That Can Befall A Soul, Except Sin. God Commands You To Pray, But He Forbids You To Worry.

To Lose Ourselves In God Is Simply To Give Up Our Own Will To Him. When A Soul Can Truly Say Lord I Have No Other Will Than Thine It Is Truly Lost In God And United To Him.

Many Great Persons Have Been Of Opinion That Love Is No Other Thing Than Complacency Itself, In Which They Have Had Much Appearance Of Reason. For Not Only Does The Movement Of Love Take Its Origin From The Complacency Which The Heart Feels At The First Approach Of Good, And Find Its End In A Second Complacency Which Returns To The Heart By Union With The Thing Beloved--but Further, It Depends For Its Preservation On This Complacency, And Can Only Subsist Through It As Through Its Mother And Nurse; So That As Soon As The Complacency Ceases, Love Ceases.

Many Who Confess Their Venial Sins Out Of Custom And Concern For Order But Without Thought Of Amendment Remain Burdened With Them For Their Whole Life And Thus Lose Many Spiritual Benefits And Advantages.

One Rarely Does Well What One Rarely Does.
