Love Ought To Show Itself In Deeds

He Who Is Not Getting Better Is Getting Worse.

But Some Most Worthless Persons Are In The Habit Of Carrying About The Name Of Jesus Christ In Wicked Guile, While Yet They Practice Things Unworthy Of God, And Hold Opinions Contrary To The Doctrine Of Christ, To Their Own Destruction, And That Of Those Who Give Credit To Them, Whom You Must Avoid As Ye Would Wild Beasts.

If God Gives You An Abundant Harvest Of Trials, It Is A Sign Of Great Holiness Which He Desires You To Attain. Do You Want To Become A Great Saint? Ask God To Send You Many Sufferings. The Flame Of Divine Love Never Rises Higher Than When Fed With The Wood Of The Cross, Which The Infinite Charity Of The Savior Used To Finish His Sacrifice. All The Pleasures Of The World Are Nothing Compared With The Sweetness Found In The Gall And Vinegar Offered To Jesus Christ. That Is, Hard And Painful Things Endured For Jesus Christ And With Jesus Christ.

If God Causes You To Suffer Much It Is A Sign That He Has Great Designs For You And That He Certainly Intends To Make You A Saint. And If You Wish To Become A Great Saint, Entreat Him Yourself To Give You Much Opportunity For Suffering; For There Is No Wood Better To Kindle The Fire Of Holy Love Than The Wood Of The Cross, Which Christ Used For His Own Great Sacrifice Of Boundless Charity.

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.
