O God, The Creature Knows Not To

If We Love Him Infinitely More Than We Do Ourselves, We Make An Unconditional Sacr Here It Is That The Spirit Teaches Us All Truth; For All Truth Is Eminently Contained In This Sacrifice Of Love, Where The Soul Strips Itself Of Every Thing To Present It To God.

Of All The Duties Enjoined By Christianity None Is More Essential And Yet More Neglected Than Prayer.

Peace Does Not Dwell In Outward Things, But Within The Soul.

Simplicity Brings Back The Joys Of Paradise. Not That We Have Pure Pleasure Without A Moment's Suffering, But When We Are Surrendered To God, We Are Not Grasping For Pleasure, And Even Our Troubles Are Received With Thanksgiving. This Inner Harmony, And This Deliverance From Fear And The Tormenting Desires Of Self, Create A Satisfaction In The Soul Which Is Above All The Intoxicating Joys Of This World Put Together.

Even If No Command To Pray Had Existed, Our Very Weakness Would Have Suggested It.
