Woe To Those Who Despise Devotion To

No, He Can Never Be Lost Who Recommends Himself To Thee, O Mary.

The Way To Heaven Is Straight And Narrow: They Who Wish To Arrive At That Place Of Bliss By Walking In The Paths Of Pleasure Shall Be Disappointed; And Therefore Few Reach It, Because Few Are Willing To Use Violence To Themselves In Resisting Temptations.

Acquire The Habit Of Speaking To God As If You Were Alone With Him, Familiarly And With Confidence And Love, As To The Dearest And Most Loving Of Friends. Speak To Him Often Of Your Business, Your Plans, Your Troubles, Your Fears - Of Everything That Concerns You. Converse With Him Confidently And Frankly; For God Is Not Wont To Speak To A Soul That Does Not Speak To Him.

Let Us Read The Lives Of The Saints; Let Us Consider The Penances Which They Performed, And Blush To Be So Effeminate And So Fearful Of Mortifying Our Flesh.

Our Faith Will Never Be True Unless It Is United To That Of St. Peter And The Pontiff, His Successors.
