We Need Not Only Read Sacred Scripture,

Resolve To Treat The Things In Your Possession As Belonging To Others.

If Everyone Would Take Only According To His Needs And Would Leave The Surplus To The Needy, No One Would Be Rich, No One Poor, No One In Misery.

What Is The Benefit Of Fasting In Our Body While Filling Our Souls With Innumerable Evils? He Who Does Not Play At Dice, But Spends His Leisure Otherwise, What Nonsense Does He Not Utter? What Absurdities Does He Not Listen To? Leisure Without The Fear Of God Is, For Those Who Do Not Know How To Use Time, The Teacher Of Wickedness.

O Sinner, Be Not Discouraged, But Have Recourse To Mary In All You Necessities. Call Her To Your Assistance, For Such Is The Divine Will That She Should Help In Every Kind Of Necessity.

I Heard Many Discourses Which Were Good For The Soul, But I Could Not Discover In The Case Of Any One Of The Teachers That His Life Was Worthy Of His Words.
