It Is Proper To Ask For Sorrow

Let Us Work As If Success Depended Upon Ourselves Alone, But With Heartfelt Conviction That We Are Doing Nothing, And God Everything.

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.

God Will Not Be Outdone In Generosity.

Stand Firm And Immovable As An Anvil When It Is Beaten Upon.

May The Perfect Grace And Eternal Love Of Christ Our Lord Be Our Never-failing Protection And Help.
