What Grieves Me Most In My Past

What Grieves Me Most In My Past Offenses, O My Loving God, Is Not So Much The Punishment I Have Deserved, As The Displeasure I Have Given You, Who Are Worthy Of Infinite Love.

When We Hear People Talk Of Riches, Honors And Amusements Of The World, Let Us Remember That All Things Have An End, And Let Us Then Say: My God, I Wish For You Alone And Nothing More.

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.

Whoever Prays Is Certainly Saved. He Who Does Not Is Certainly Damned. All The Blessed Have Been Saved By Prayer. All The Damned Have Been Lost Through Not Praying. If They Had Prayed They Would Not Have Been Lost. And This Is, And Will Be Their Greatest Torment In Hell: To Think How Easily They Might Have Been Saved, Just By Asking God For His Grace, But That Now It Is Too Late - Their Time Of Prayer Is Gone.

Let Us Make Up For Lost Time. Let Us Give To God The Time That Remains To Us.
