Let Us Thank God For

It Often Happens That We Pray God To Deliver Us From Some Dangerous Temptation, And Yet That God Does Not Hear Us, But Permits The Temptation To Continue Troubling Us. In Such A Case, Let Us Understand That God Permits Even This For Our Greater Good.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Who, For The Love You Bear To Mankind, Do Remain Night And Day In This Sacrament, Full Of Pity And Love, Awaiting, Calling, And Receiving All Who Come To Visit You; I Believe That You Are Present In The Sacrament Of The Altar; I Adore You From The Depths Of My Own Nothingness; I Thank You For The Many Graces You Have Given Me, And Especially For Having Given Me Yourself In This Sacrament.

Acquire The Habit Of Speaking To God As If You Were Alone With Him, Familiarly And With Confidence And Love, As To The Dearest And Most Loving Of Friends.

The Past Is No Longer Yours; The Future Is Not Yet In Your Power. You Have Only The Present Wherein To Do Good.

So Great Is The Compassion Excited In Mary By Our Misery, And Such Is The Love That She Bears Us, That She Prays Constantly, And Relaxes Not Her Efforts In Our Behalf.
