Cook The Truth In Charity Until It Tastes Sweet.

There Are Many Who Want Me To Tell Them Of Secret Ways Of Becoming Perfect And I Can Only Tell Them That The Sole Secret Is A Hearty Love Of God, And The Only Way Of Attaining That Love Is By Loving. You Learn To Speak By Speaking, To Study By Studying, To Run By Running, To Work By Working; And Just So You Learn To Love God And Man By Loving. Begin As A Mere Apprentice And The Very Power Of Love Will Lead You On To Become A Master Of The Art.

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.

The Enemy Often Tries To Make Us Attempt And Start Many Projects So That We Will Be Overwhelmed With Too Many Tasks, And Therefore Achieve Nothing And Leave Everything Unfinished. Sometimes He Even Suggests The Wish To Undertake Some Excellent Work That He Foresees We Will Never Accomplish.

God Requires A Faithful Fulfillment Of The Merest Trifle Given Us To Do, Rather Than The Most Ardent Aspiration To Things To Which We Are Not Called.
