Finding God In All Things.

Finding God In All Things.

If God Gives You An Abundant Harvest Of Trials, It Is A Sign Of Great Holiness Which He Desires You To Attain. Do You Want To Become A Great Saint? Ask God To Send You Many Sufferings. The Flame Of Divine Love Never Rises Higher Than When Fed With The Wood Of The Cross, Which The Infinite Charity Of The Savior Used To Finish His Sacrifice. All The Pleasures Of The World Are Nothing Compared With The Sweetness Found In The Gall And Vinegar Offered To Jesus Christ. That Is, Hard And Painful Things Endured For Jesus Christ And With Jesus Christ.

If God Causes You To Suffer Much It Is A Sign That He Has Great Designs For You And That He Certainly Intends To Make You A Saint. And If You Wish To Become A Great Saint, Entreat Him Yourself To Give You Much Opportunity For Suffering; For There Is No Wood Better To Kindle The Fire Of Holy Love Than The Wood Of The Cross, Which Christ Used For His Own Great Sacrifice Of Boundless Charity.

There Is No Doubt That God Will Never Be Wanting To Us, Provided That He Finds In Us That Humility Which Makes Us Worthy Of His Gifts, The Desire Of Possessing Them, And The Promptitude To Co-operate Industriously With The Graces He Gives Us.

We Must Speak To God As A Friend Speaks To His Friend, Servant To His Master; Now Asking Some Favor, Now Acknowledging Our Faults, And Communicating To Him All That Concerns Us, Our Thoughts, Our Fears, Our Projects, Our Desires, And In All Things Seeking His Counsel.
