By The Law Of Nature, There Is

Perfect Love Of God Means The Complete Union Of Our Will With God's.

The Brightest Ornaments In The Crown Of The Blessed In Heaven Are The Sufferings Which They Have Borne Patiently On Earth.

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.

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.

Saint Teresa, As The Roman Rota Attests, Never Fell Into Any Mortal Sin; But Still Our Lord Showed Her The Place Prepared For Her In Hell; Not Because She Deserved Hell, But Because, Had She Not Risen From The State Of Lukewarmness In Which She Lived, She Would In The End Have Lost The Grace Of God And Been Damned.
