O Lord, Self-renunciation Is Not The Work

You Are A Man, Not God; You Are Human, Not An Angel. How Can You Expect To Remain Always In A Constant State Of Virtue, When This Was Not Possible Even For An Angel Of Heaven, Nor For The First Man In The Garden?

Forasmuch As Many People Study More To Have Knowledge Than To Live Well Therefore Ofttimes They Err And Bring Forth Little Fruit Or None.

What Most Of All Hinders Heavenly Consolation Is That You Are Too Slow In Turning Yourself To Prayer.

No Man Ruleth Safely But He That Is Willingly Ruled.

Do What Lieth In Thy Power, And God Will Assist In Thy Good Will.
