The Eyes Of Our Souls Only Then

The Greatest Saint In The World Is Not He Who Prays Most Or Fasts Most; It Is Not He Who Gives Alms, Or Is Most Eminent For Temperance, Chastity Or Justice. It Is He Who Is Most Thankful To God.

He That Rightly Understands The Reasonableness And Excellency Of Charity Will Know That It Can Never Be Excusable To Waste Any Of Our Money In Pride And Folly.

All That Is Sweet, Delightful, And Amiable In This World, In The Serenity Of The Air, The Fineness Of Seasons, The Joy Of Light, The Melody Of Sounds, The Beauty Of Colors, The Fragrancy Of Smells, The Splendor Of Precious Stones, Is Nothing Else But Heaven Breaking Through The Veil Of This World.

If Religion Commands Universal Charity, To Love Our Neighbors As Ourselves, To Forgive And Pray For All Our Enemies Without Any Reserve; It Is Because All Degrees Of Love Are Degrees Of Happiness, That Strengthen And Support The Divine Life Of The Soul, And Are As Necessary To Its Health And Happiness, As Proper Food Is Necessary To The Health And Happiness Of The Body.

Now If You Will Stop Here And Ask Yourself Why You Are Not As Pious As The Primitive Christians Were, Your Own Heart Will Tell You That It Is Neither Through Ignorance Nor Inability, But Purely Because You Never Thoroughly Intended It.
