Teach Us To Give And Not To

We Must Speak To God As A Friend Speaks To His Friend, Servant To His Master; Now Asking Some Favor, Now Acknowledging Our Faults, And Communicating To Him All That Concerns Us, Our Thoughts, Our Fears, Our Projects, Our Desires, And In All Things Seeking His Counsel.

We Should Always Be Disposed To Believe That That Which Appears White Is Really Black, If The Hierarchy Of The Church So Decides.

All The Honey That Can Be Gathered From The Flowers Of This World Has Less Sweetness Than The Vinegar And Gall Of Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Just As The Commander Of An Army Pitches His Camp, Studies The Strength And Defenses Of A Fortress, And Then Attacks It On Its Weakest Side, In Like Manner, The Enemy Of Our Human Nature Studies From All Sides Our Theological, Cardinal, And Moral Virtues. Wherever He Finds Us Weakest And Most In Need Regarding Our Eternal Salvation, He Attacks And Tries To Take Us By Storm.

May God Our Lord Never Let Me Harm Anyone When I Cannot Help Him!
