He Who Has Heard The Word Of

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.

It Is Proper To Ask For Sorrow With Christ In Sorrow, Anguish With Christ In Anguish, Tears And Deep Grief Because Of The Great Affliction Christ Endures For Me.

Above All, Remember That God Looks For Solid Virtues In Us, Such As Patience, Humility, Obedience, Abnegation Of Your Own Will - That Is, The Good Will To Serve Him And Our Neighbor In Him. His Providence Allows Us Other Devotions Only Insofar As He Sees That They Are Useful To Us.

In The Case Of Those Who Are Making Progress From Good To Better, The Good Angel Touches The Soul Gently, Lightly, Sweetly, As A Drop Of Water Enters A Sponge, While The Evil Spirit Touches It Sharply, With Noise And Disturbance, Like A Drop Of Water Falling On A Rock.

All The Things In This World Are Gifts Of God, Created For Us, To Be The Means By Which We Can Come To Know Him Better, Love Him More Surely, And Serve Him More Faithfully.
