It Is Right That You Should Begin

Have Patience With All Things, But, First Of All With Yourself.

A Spoon Full Of Honey Gets More Flies Than A Barrel Full Of Vinegar.

Go To Your Confessor; Open Your Heart To Him; Display To Him All The Recesses Of Your Soul; Take The Advice That He Will Give You With The Utmost Humility And Simplicity. For God, Who Has An Infinite Love For Obedience, Frequently Renders Profitable The Counsels We Take From Others, But Especially From Those Who Are The Guides Of Our Souls.

Naturally We All Have An Inclination To Command, And A Great Aversion To Obey; And Yet It Is Certain That It Is More For Our Good To Obey Than To Command; Hence Perfect Souls Have Always Had A Great Affection For Obedience, And Have Found All Their Joy And Comfort In It.

Marital Intercourse Is Certainly Holy, Lawful And Praiseworthy In Itself And Profitable To Society, Yet In Certain Circumstances It Can Prove Dangerous, As When Through Excess The Soul Is Made Sick With Venial Sin, Or Through The Violation And Perversion Of Its Primary End, Killed By Mortal Sin; Such Perversion, Detestable In Proportion To Its Departure From The True Order, Being Always Mortal Sin, For It Is Never Lawful To Exclude The Primary End Of Marriage Which Is The Procreation Of Children.
