Obedience To A Confessor Is The Most

Were You To Ask What Are The Means Of Overcoming Temptations, I Would Answer: The First Means Is Prayer; The Second Is Prayer; The Third Is Prayer; And You Should You Ask Me A Thousand Times, I Would Repeat The Same.

Perfect Love Of God Means The Complete Union Of Our Will With God's.

There Is Nothing More Pleasing To God, Than To See A Soul Who Patiently And Serenely Bears Whatever Crosses It Is Sent; This Is How Love Is Made, By Putting Lover And Loved One On The Same Level. . . A Soul Who Loves Jesus Christ Desires To Be Treated The Way Christ Was Treated-desires To Be Poor, Despised And Humiliated.

Let Us Read The Lives Of The Saints; Let Us Consider The Penances Which They Performed, And Blush To Be So Effeminate And So Fearful Of Mortifying Our Flesh.

Let Us, At Any Rate, Give Heed To Suffer Joyfully The Crosses That God Sends Us, Because They All, If We Are Saved, Will Become For Us Eternal Joys. When Infirmities, Pains, Or Any Adversities Afflict Us, Let Us Lift Up Our Eyes To Heaven And Say, "one Day All These Pains Will Have An End, And After Them I Hope To Enjoy God Forever."
