Can We Be Unsafe Where God Has

All Wars Are Civil Ones; For It Is Still Man Spilling His Own Blood, Tearing Out His Own Bowels.

God Bears With Imperfect Beings Even When They Resist His Goodness. We Ought To Imitate This Merciful Patience And Endurance. It Is Only Imperfection That Complains Of What Is Imperfect. The More Perfect We Are, The More Gentle And Quiet We Become Toward The Defects Of Other People.

The History Of The World Suggests That Without Love Of God There Is Little Likelihood Of A Love For Man That Does Not Become Corrupt.

Crosses Are Of No Use To Us But Inasmuch As We Yield Ourselves Up To Them And Forget Ourselves.

We May Be Sure That It Is The Love Of God Only That Can Make Us Come Out Of Self. If His Powerful Hand Did Not Sustain Us, We Should Not Know How To Take The First Step In That Direction.
