It Is Proper To Ask For Sorrow

Among The Many Signs Of A Lively Faith And Hope We Have In Eternal Life, One Of The Surest Is Not Being Overly Sad At The Death Of Those Whom We Dearly Love In Our Lord.

All The Honey That Can Be Gathered From The Flowers Of This World Has Less Sweetness Than The Vinegar And Gall Of Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Teach Us To Give And Not To Count The Cost.

Teach Us, Good Lord, To Give And Not Count The Cost; To Fight And Not To Heed The Wounds; To Toil And Not To Seek For Rest; To Labor And Not To Ask For Any Reward Save That Of Knowing That We Do Thy Will.

God Our Lord Would Have Us Look To The Giver And Love Him More Than His Gift, Keeping Him Always Before Our Eyes, In Our Hearts, And In Our Thoughts.
