Were In Prayer, As Indeed You Ought

If We Were Faultless, We Should Not Be So Much Annoyed By The Defects Of Those With Whom We Associate. If We Were To Acknowledge Honestly That We Have Not Virtue Enough To Bear Patiently With Our Neighbor's Weaknesses, We Should Show Our Own Imperfection, And This Alarms Our Vanity.

There Is But One Way In Which God Should Be Loved, And That Is To Take No Step Except With Him And For Him, And To Follow With A Generous Self-abandonment Every Thing Which He Requires.

We Are Never Less Alone Than When We Are In The Society Of A Single, Faithful Friend; Never Less Deserted Than When We Are Carried In Tne Arms Of The All-powerful.

Time Spent In Prayer Is Never Wasted.

I Would Have Every Minister Of The Gospel Address His Audience With The Zeal Of A Friend, With The Generous Energy Of A Father, And With The Exuberant Affection Of A Mother.
