It Is Better To Die Than To

God Bears With Imperfect Beings Even When They Resist His Goodness. We Ought To Imitate This Merciful Patience And Endurance. It Is Only Imperfection That Complains Of What Is Imperfect. The More Perfect We Are, The More Gentle And Quiet We Become Toward The Defects Of Other People.

True Love Goes Ever Straight Forward, Not In Its Own Strength, But Esteeming Itself As Nothing. Then Indeed We Are Truly Happy. The Cross Is No Longer A Cross When There Is No Self To Suffer Under It.

Can We Be Unsafe Where God Has Placed Us, And Where He Watches Over Us As A Parent A Child That He Loves?

There Is But One Way In Which God Should Be Loved, And That Is To Take No Step Except With Him And For Him, And To Follow With A Generous Self-abandonment Every Thing Which He Requires.

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