If You Carry Your Cross Joyfully, It

For Man Plans, But God Arranges.

He That Avoideth Not Small Faults, By Little And Little Falleth Into Greater.

Endeavor To Be Always Patient Of The Faults And Imperfections Of Others; For Thou Hast Many Faults And Imperfections Of Thine Own That Require Forbearance. If Thou Art Not Able To Make Thyself That Which Thou Wishest, How Canst Thou Expect To Mold Another In Conformity To Thy Will?

Let All Your Thoughts Be With The Most High, And Direct Your Humble Prayers Unceasingly To Christ. If You Cannot Contemplate High And Heavenly Things, Take Refuge In The Passion Of Christ, And Love To Dwell Within His Sacred Wounds. For If You Devoutly Seek The Wounds Of Jesus And The Precious Marks Of His Passion, You Will Find Great Strength In All Troubles.

It Is Much Safer To Be Subject Than It Is To Command. Many Live In Obedience More From Necessity Than From Love. Such Become Discontented And Dejected On The Slightest Pretext; They Will Never Gain Peace Of Mind Unless They Subject Themselves Wholeheartedly For The Love Of God.
