After The Love Which We Owe Jesus

He Who Embraces The Cross And Bears It With Patience Lightens The Weight Of The Cross. Indeed, The Weight Itself Becomes A Consolation; For God Abounds With Grace To All Those Who Carry The Cross With Good Will In Order To Please Him.

Just As A Mother Finds Pleasure In Taking Her Little Child On Her Lap, There To Feed And Caress Him, In Like Manner Our Loving God Shows His Fondness For His Beloved Souls Who Have Given Themselves Entirely To Him And Have Placed All Their Hope In His Goodness.

The Means For Maintaining Perfect Love Is To Accomplish Frequent Acts Of Love. Fire Is Kindled By The Wood We Cast Into It And Love Is Enkindled By Acts Of Love.

Know Also That You Will Probably Gain More By Praying Fifteen Minutes Before The Blessed Sacrament Than By All The Other Spiritual Exercises Of The Day. True, Our Lord Hears Our Prayers Anywhere, For He Has Made The Promise, 'ask, And You Shall Receive,' But He Has Revealed To His Servants That Those Who Visit Him In The Blessed Sacrament Will Obtain A More Abundant Measure Of Grace.

Woe To Him Who Neglects To Recommend Himself To Mary, And Thus Closes The Channel Of Grace!
