Mount Calvary Is The Academy Of Love.

Consider All The Past As Nothing, And Say, Like David: Now I Begin To Love My God.

Do Not Be Ashamed Of Being Poor, Or Of Asking Alms. Receive What Is Given You With Humility, And Accept A Refusal Meekly. Frequently Call To Mind Our Lady's Journey Into Egypt With Her Holy Child, And Of All The Poverty, Contempt And Suffering They Endured. If You Follow Their Example You Will Indeed Be Rich Amid Your Poverty.

I See Crosses At Every Turn. My Flesh Shudders Over It, But My Heart Adores Them. Yes, I Hail You, Crosses Little And Great, I Hail You, And Kiss Your Feet, Unworthy Of The Honor Of Your Shadow.

Many Who Confess Their Venial Sins Out Of Custom And Concern For Order But Without Thought Of Amendment Remain Burdened With Them For Their Whole Life And Thus Lose Many Spiritual Benefits And Advantages.

Do Not Scrutinize So Closely Whether You Are Doing Much Or Little, Ill Or Well, So Long As What You Do Is Not Sinful And That You Are Heartily Seeking To Do Everything For God. Try As Far As You Can To Do Everything Well, But When It Is Done, Do Not Think About It. Try, Rather, To Think Of What Is To Be Done Next. Go On Simply In The Lord's Way, And Do Not Torment Yourself. We Ought To Hate Our Faults, But With A Quiet, Calm Hatred; Not Pettishly And Anxiously.
