Discouragement Is Not From God.

If One Fears Men Much He Will Never Do Anything Great For God: All That One Does For God Arouses Persecution.

You Have Given It All To Me. To You, Lord, I Return It. Everything Is Yours; Do With It What You Will. Give Me Only Your Love And Grace. That Is Enough For Me.

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.

May It Please Christ Our Lord To Grant Us True Humility And Abnegation Of Will And Judgment, So That We May Deserve To Begin To Be His Disciples.

Take, O Lord, And Receive My Entire Liberty, My Memory, My Understanding And My Whole Will. All That I Am And All That I Possess You Have Given Me. I Surrender It All To You To Be Disposed Of According To Your Will. Give Me Only Your Love And Your Grace; With These I Will Be Rich Enough, And Will Desire Nothing More.
