You Will Gain More By Receiving Scorn

Let Your Constant Practice Be To Offer Yourself To God, That He May Do With You What He Pleases.

If You Embrace All Things In This Life As Coming From The Hands Of God, And Even Embrace Death To Fulfill His Holy Will, Assuredly You Will Die A Saint.

A Soul Who Loves Jesus Christ Desires To Be Treated The Way Christ Was Treated-desires To Be Poor, Despised, And Humiliated.

To Be Silent When We Are Impelled To Utter Words Injurious To God Or To Our Neighbour, Is An Act Of Virtue; But, To Be Silent In Confessing Our Sins, Is The Ruin Of The Soul.

To Obtain Salvation We Must Tremble At The Thought Of Being Lost, And Tremble Not So Much At The Thought Of Hell, As Of Sin, Which Alone Can Send Us Thither. He Who Dreads Sin Avoids Dangerous Occasions, Frequently Recommends Himself To God, And Has Recourse To The Means Of Keeping Himself In The State Of Grace. He Who Acts Thus Will Be Saved; But For Him Who Lives Not In This Manner It Is Morally Impossible To Be Saved.
