Make Sickness Itself A Prayer.

If You Would Fall Into Any Extreme, Let It Be On The Side Of Gentleness. The Human Mind Is So Constructed That It Resists Rigor, And Yields To Softness.

Consider All The Past As Nothing, And Say, Like David: Now I Begin To Love My God.

Better Make Penitents By Gentleness Than Hypocrites By Severity.

The Truly Patient Man Neither Complains Of His Hard Lot Nor Desires To Be Pitied By Others. He Speaks Of His Sufferings In A Natural, True, And Sincere Way, Without Murmuring, Complaining, Or Exaggerating Them.

There Is Nothing Small In The Service Of God.
