If You Cast Away One Cross, You

To Be Able To Live Peaceably With Hard And Perverse Persons, Or With The Disorderly, Or With Such As Go Contrary To Us, Is A Great Grace.

My God, Sweetness Beyond Words, Make Bitter All The Carnal Comfort That Draws Me From Love Of The Eternal And Lures Me To Its Evil Self By The Sight Of Some Delightful Good In The Present. Let It Not Overcome Me, My God. Let Not Flesh And Blood Conquer Me. Let Not The World And Its Brief Glory Deceive Me, Nor The Devil Trip Me By His Craftiness. Give Me Courage To Resist, Patience To Endure, And Constancy To Persevere. Give Me The Soothing Unction Of Your Spirit Rather Than All The Consolations Of The World, And In Place Of Carnal Love, Infuse Into Me The Love Of Your Name.

Too Many Instances There Are Of Daring Men, Who By Presuming To Sound The Deep Things Of Religion, Have Cavilled And Argued Themselves Out Of All Religion.

Be Yourself -the Man Who Is Neither Bent Upon Pleasing His Fellows Nor Afraid Of Offending Them Will Enjoy Great Peace.

Whoever Finds Jesus, Finds A Rich Treasure, And A Good Above Every Good. He Who Loses Jesus Loses Much Indeed, And More Than The Whole World. Poorest Of All Is He Who Lives Without Jesus, And Richest Of All Is He Who Stands In Favor With Jesus.
