Make Sickness Itself A Prayer.

We Can Never Attain To Perfection While We Have An Affection For Any Imperfection.

Naturally We All Have An Inclination To Command, And A Great Aversion To Obey; And Yet It Is Certain That It Is More For Our Good To Obey Than To Command; Hence Perfect Souls Have Always Had A Great Affection For Obedience, And Have Found All Their Joy And Comfort In It.

The Devil Doesn't Fear Austerity But Holy Obedience.

There Is No Better Means Of Attainment To The Spiritual Life Than By Continually Beginning Again.

Obedience Is A Virtue Of So Excellent A Nature, That Our Lord Was Pleased To Mark Its Observance Upon The Whole Course Of His Life; Thus He Often Says, He Did Not Come To Do His Own Will, But That Of His Heavenly Father.
