O Lord, I Do Most

Time Is Given Us That We May Take Care For Eternity; And Eternity Will Not Be Too Long To Regret The Loss Of Our Time If We Have Misspent It.

Mankind, By The Perverse Depravity Of Their Nature, Esteem That Which They Have Most Desired As Of No Value The Moment It Is Possessed, And Torment Themselves With Fruitless Wishes For That Which Is Beyond Their Reach.

To Pray Is To Desire; But It Is To Desire What God Would Have Us Desire.

It Is Only By Fidelity In Little Things That The Grace Of True Love To God Can Be Sustained, And Distinguished From A Passing Fervor Of Spirit. . . . No One Can Well Believe That Our Piety Is Sincere, When Our Behavior Is Lax And Irregular In Its Little Details. What Probability Is There That We Should Not Hesitate To Make The Greatest Sacrifices, When We Shrink From The Smallest?

We Must Truly Serve Those Whom We Appear To Command; We Must Bear With Their Imperfections, Correct Them With Gentleness And Patience, And Lead Them In The Way To Heaven.
