It Is Vanity To Desire A Long

For A Small Reward, A Man Will Hurry Away On A Long Journey; While For Eternal Life, Many Will Hardly Take A Single Step.

Anyone Who Is Not Totally Dead To Himself Will Soon Find That He Is Tempted And Overcome By Piddling And Frivolous Things. Whoever Is Weak In Spirit, Given To The Flesh And Inclined To Sensual Things Can, But Only With Great Difficulty, Drag Himself Away From His Earthly Desires. Therefore He Is Often Gloomy And Sad When He Is Trying To Pull Himself Away From Them, And Easily Gives Way To Anger Should Someone Attempt To Oppose Him.

Blessed Is The Pilgrim, Who In Every Place, And At All Times Of This His Banishment In The Body, Calling Upon The Holy Name Of Jesus, Calleth To Mind His Native Heavenly Land, Where His Blessed Master, The King Of Saints And Angels, Waiteth To Receive Him. Blessed Is The Pilgrim Who Seeketh Not An Abiding Place Unto Himself In This World; But Longeth To Be Dissolved, And Be With Christ In Heaven.

Two Wings Lift A Person Up From Earthly Concerns: Simplicity In Intention, And Purity In Feeling.

Let Temporal Things Serve Thy Use, But The Eternal Be The Object Of Thy Desire.
