Let Gratitude For The Past Inspire Us

If We Had Strength And Faith Enough To Trust Ourselves Entirely To God; And Follow Him Simply Wherever He Should Lead Us, We Should Have No Need Of Any Great Effort Of Mind To Reach Perfection.

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.

Listen Less To Your Own Thoughts And More To God's Thoughts.

Simplicity Is The Straightforwardness Of A Soul Which Refuses Itself Any Reaction With Regard To Itself Or Its Deeds. This Virtue Differs From And Surpasses Sincerity. We See Many People Who Are Sincere Without Being Simple. They Do Not Wish To Be Taken For Other Than What They Are; But They Are Always Fearing Lest They Should Be Taken For What They Are Not.

God Is So Good That He Only Awaits Our Desire To Overwhelm Us With The Gift Of Himself.
