A Quarrel Between Friends, When Made Up,

Marital Intercourse Is Certainly Holy, Lawful And Praiseworthy In Itself And Profitable To Society, Yet In Certain Circumstances It Can Prove Dangerous, As When Through Excess The Soul Is Made Sick With Venial Sin, Or Through The Violation And Perversion Of Its Primary End, Killed By Mortal Sin; Such Perversion, Detestable In Proportion To Its Departure From The True Order, Being Always Mortal Sin, For It Is Never Lawful To Exclude The Primary End Of Marriage Which Is The Procreation Of Children.

One Great Remedy Against All Manner Of Temptation, Great Or Small, Is To Open The Heart And Lay Bare Its Suggestion, Likings, And Dislikings Before Some Spiritual Adviser; For, . . . The First Condition Which The Evil One Makes With A Soul, When He Wants To Entrap It, Is Silence.

Souls Do Not Wish To Be Bullied, But Gently Brought Back; Such Is The Nature Of Man.

Those Who Love To Be Feared Fear To Be Loved, And They Themselves Are More Afraid Than Anyone, For Whereas Other Men Fear Only Them, They Fear Everyone.

Do Not Desire Crosses, Unless You Have Borne Those Already Laid Upon You Well — It Is An Abuse To Long After Martyrdom While Unable To Bear An Insult Patiently.
