Let God Be The Air In Which

Have Patience With All Things, But, First Of All With Yourself.

Be Patient With Everyone, But Above All With Yourself. I Mean, Do Not Be Disturbed Because Of Your Imperfections, And Always Rise Up Bravely From A Fall. I Am Glad That You Make A Daily New Beginning; There Is No Better Means Of Progress In The Spiritual Life Than To Be Continually Beginning Afresh, And Never To Think That We Have Done Enough.

Go In All Simplicity; Do Not Be Anxious To Win A Quiet Mind, And It Will Be All The Quieter. Do Not Examine So Closely Into The Progress Of Your Soul. Do Not Crave Too Much To Be Perfect, But Let Your Spiritual Life Beformed By Your Duties, And By The Actions Which Are Called Forth By Circumstances.

Do Not Look Forward To What May Happen Tomorrow; The Same Everlasting Father Who Cares For You Today Will Take Care Of You Tomorrow And Every Day. Either He Will Shield You From Suffering, Or He Will Give You Unfailing Strength To Bear It. Be At Peace, Then, Put Aside All Anxious Thoughts And Imaginations, And Say Continually: 'the Lord Is My Strength And My Shield; My Heart Has Trusted In Him And I Am Helped. He Is Not Only With Me But In Me And I In Him.'

Half An Hour's Meditation Each Day Is Essential, Except When You Are Busy. Then A Full Hour Is Needed.
