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.

Soul Of Christ, Sanctify Me. Body Of Christ, Save Me. Blood Of Christ, Inebriate Me. Water From The Side Of Christ, Wash Me. Passion Of Christ, Strengthen Me. O Good Jesus, Hear Me. Within Thy Wounds Hide Me. Permit Me Not To Be Separated From Thee. From The Wicked Foe Defend Me. At The Hour Of My Death Call Me. And Bid Me Come To Thee. That With Thy Saints I May Praise Thee For Ever And Ever. Amen.

One Must Wage War Against His Predominant Passion And Not Retreat Until, With God's Help, He Has Been Victorious.
