Let Us Often Think Of Our Own

There Is No True And Constant Gentleness Without Humility. While We Are So Fond Of Ourselves, We Are Easily Offended With Others. Let Us Be Persuaded That Nothing Is Due To Us, And Then Nothing Will Disturb Us. Let Us Often Think Of Our Own Infirmities, And We Will Become Indulgent Towards Those Of Others.

O Lord! Take My Heart, For I Cannot Give It; And When Thou Hast It, O! Keep It, For I Cannot Keep It For Thee; And Save Me In Spite Of Myself, For Jesus Christ's Sake.

A Cross Borne In Simplicity, Without The Interference Of Self-love To Augment It, Is Only Half A Cross. Suffering In This Simplicity Of Love, We Are Not Only Happy In Spile Of The Cross, But Because Of It; For Love Is Pleased In Suffering For The Well Beloved, And The Cross Which Forms Us Into His Image Is A Consoling Bond Of Love.

The Smallest Things Become Great When God Requires Them Of Us; They Are Small Only In Themselves; They Are Always Great When They Are Done For God.

The Passion Of Acquiring Riches In Order To Support A Vain Expense Corrupts The Purest Souls.
