How Does Our Will Become Sanctified? By

Faith Is Letting Down Our Nets Into The Transparent Deeps At The Divine Command, Not Knowing What We Shall Draw.

O Lord, I Do Most Cheerfully Commit All Unto Thee.

Simplicity Is The Straightforwardness Of A Soul Which Refuses Itself Any Reaction With Regard To Itself Or Its Deeds. This Virtue Differs From And Surpasses Sincerity. We See Many People Who Are Sincere Without Being Simple. They Do Not Wish To Be Taken For Other Than What They Are; But They Are Always Fearing Lest They Should Be Taken For What They Are Not.

We Must Have Faith During The Period Of Our Grief. We Think That Our Afflictions Will Be Greater Than We Can Bear, But We Do Not Know The Strength Of Our Own Hearts, Nor The Power Of God. He Knows All. He Knows Every Folding Of The Heart And Also The Extent Of The Sorrow That He Inflicts. What We Think Will Overwhelm Us Entirely Only Subdues And Conquers Our Pride. Our Renewed Spirit Rises From Its Subjugation With A Celestial Strength And Consolation.

People Who Have No Secrets From Each Other Never Want For A Subject Of Conversation. They Do Not Weigh Their Words, For There Is Nothing To Be Held Back, Neither Do They Seek For Something To Say. They Talk Out Of The Abundance Of Their Heart, Without Consideration They Say Just What They Think. Blessed Are They Who Attain To Such Familiar, Unreserved Intercourse With God.
