I Want A Laitywho Know

Evil Has No Substance Of Its Own, But Is Only The Defect, Excess, Perversion, Or Corruption Of That Which Has Substance.

All That Is Good, All That Is True, All That Is Beautiful, All That Is Beneficent, Be It Great Or Small, Be It Perfect Or Fragmentary, Natural As Well As Supernatural, Moral As Well As Material, Comes From God.

It Is Seldom We Have The Heart To Throw Ourselves, If I May So Speak, On The Divine Arm; We Dare Not Trust Ourselves On The Waters, Though Christ Bids Us. We Have Not St. Peter's Love To Ask Leave To Come To Him Upon The Sea. When We Once Are Filled With That Heavenly Charity, We Can Do All Things, Because We Attempt All Things - For To Attempt Is To Do.

To Take Up The Cross Of Christ Is No Great Action Done Once For All; It Consists In The Continual Practice Of Small Duties Which Are Distasteful To Us.

The Love Of Our Private Friends Is The Only Preparatory Exercise For The Love Of All Men.
