Discouragement Is Not From God.

If God Gives You An Abundant Harvest Of Trials, It Is A Sign Of Great Holiness Which He Desires You To Attain. Do You Want To Become A Great Saint? Ask God To Send You Many Sufferings. The Flame Of Divine Love Never Rises Higher Than When Fed With The Wood Of The Cross, Which The Infinite Charity Of The Savior Used To Finish His Sacrifice. All The Pleasures Of The World Are Nothing Compared With The Sweetness Found In The Gall And Vinegar Offered To Jesus Christ. That Is, Hard And Painful Things Endured For Jesus Christ And With Jesus Christ.

He Who Has Heard The Word Of God Can Bear His Silences.

Imagine That Leader Of All The Enemy, In That Great Plain Of Babylon, Sitting On A Sort Of Throne Of Smoking Flame, A Horrible And Terrifying Sight. Watch Him Calling Together Countless Devils, To Despatch Them Into Different Cities Till The Whole World Is Covered, Forgetting No Province Or Locality, No Class Or Single Individual.

Soul Of Christ, Sanctify Me. Body Of Christ, Save Me. Blood Of Christ, Inebriate Me. Water From The Side Of Christ, Wash Me. Passion Of Christ, Strengthen Me. O Good Jesus, Hear Me. Within Thy Wounds Hide Me. Permit Me Not To Be Separated From Thee. From The Wicked Foe Defend Me. At The Hour Of My Death Call Me. And Bid Me Come To Thee. That With Thy Saints I May Praise Thee For Ever And Ever. Amen.

Among The Many Signs Of A Lively Faith And Hope We Have In Eternal Life, One Of The Surest Is Not Being Overly Sad At The Death Of Those Whom We Dearly Love In Our Lord.
