Great Occasions For Serving God Come Seldom,

In So Far As Divine Love Beautifies Our Souls. And Makes Us Pleasing To His Divine Majesty, It Is Called Grace; In So Far As It Gives Us Strength To Do Good, It Is Called Charity; But When It Reaches Such A Degree Of Perfection, That It Makes Us Not Only Do The Good, But Do So Carefully, Frequently And Readily, Then It Is Called Devotion.

Faith Is Like A Bright Ray Of Sun Light. It Enables Us To See God In All Things As Well As All Things In God.

And When Children Begin To Use Their Reason, Fathers And Mothers Should Take Great Pains To Fill Their Hearts With The Fear Of God. This The Good Queen Blanche Did Most Earnestly By St. Louis, Her Son: Witness Her Oft-repeated Words, "my Son, I Would Sooner See You Die Than Guilty Of A Mortal Sin;" Words Which Sank So Deeply Into The Saintly Monarch's Heart, That He Himself Said There Was No Day On Which They Did Not Recur To His Mind, And Strengthen Him In Treading God's Ways.

We May Be Excused For Not Always Being Bright, But We Are Not Excused For Not Being Gracious, Yielding And Considerate.

Strive To See God In All Things Without Exception. Do Not Smother Yourself...if You Start Smothering Yourself With A Host Of Cares And Longings And Wishes ... You Will Be Disabling Yourself From Serving God With All Your Heart.
