Dearest Lord, Teach Me To

Discouragement Is Not From God.

Spiritual Infirmities Such As Tepidity Are Caused, Not Only By Chills But Also By Fevers, That Is, By Excessive Zeal.

Above All, Remember That God Looks For Solid Virtues In Us, Such As Patience, Humility, Obedience, Abnegation Of Your Own Will - That Is, The Good Will To Serve Him And Our Neighbor In Him. His Providence Allows Us Other Devotions Only Insofar As He Sees That They Are Useful To Us.

The Safest And Most Suitable Form Of Penance Seems To Be That Which Causes Pain In The Flesh But Does Not Penetrate To The Bones, That Is, Which Causes Suffering But Not Sickness.

He Who Carries God In His Heart Bears Heaven With Him Wherever He Goes.
