Above All, Remember That God Looks For

Among The Many Signs Of A Lively Faith And Hope We Have In Eternal Life, One Of The Surest Is Not Being Overly Sad At The Death Of Those Whom We Dearly Love In Our Lord.

Realize That Illness And Other Temporal Setbacks Often Come To Us From The Hand Of God Our Lord, And Are Sent To Help Us Know Ourselves Better, To Free Ourselves Of The Love Of Created Things, And To Reflect On The Brevity Of This Life And, Thus, To Prepare Ourselves For The Life Which Is Without End.

To Withdraw From Creatures And Repose With Jesus In The Tabernacle Is My Delight; There I Can Hide Myself And Seek Rest. There I Find A Life Which I Cannot Describe, A Joy Which I Cannot Make Others Comprehend, A Peace Such As Is Found Only Under The Hospitable Roof Of Our Best Friend.

Receive, Lord, All My Liberty, My Memory, My Understanding And My Whole Will.

To Have Prevented One Single Sin Is Reward Enough For The Labors And Efforts Of A Whole Lifetime.
