There Is Nothing Small In The Service

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.

If The Heart Wanders Or Is Distracted, Bring It Back To The Point Quite Gently... And Even If You Did Nothing During The Whole Of Your Hour But Bring Your Heart Back, Though It Went Away Every Time You Brought It Back, Your Hour Would Be Very Well Employed.

I Recommend To You Holy Simplicity.

The Elephant, Not Only The Largest But The Most Intelligent Of Animals, Provides Us With An Excellent Example. It Is Faithful And Tenderly Loving To The Female Of Its Choice, Mating Only Every Third Year And Then For No More Than Five Days, And So Secretly As Never To Be Seen, Until, On The Sixth Day, It Appears And Goes At Once To Wash Its Whole Body In The River, Unwilling To Return To The Herd Until Thus Purified. Such Good And Modest Habits Are An Example To Husband And Wife.

Do Not Look Forward To What May Happen Tomorrow; The Same Everlasting Father Who Cares For You Today Will Take Care Of You Tomorrow And Every Day. Either He Will Shield You From Suffering, Or He Will Give You Unfailing Strength To Bear It. Be At Peace, Then, Put Aside All Anxious Thoughts And Imaginations, And Say Continually: 'the Lord Is My Strength And My Shield; My Heart Has Trusted In Him And I Am Helped. He Is Not Only With Me But In Me And I In Him.'
