True Charity Consists In Doing

Before The Coming Of Jesus Christ, Men Fled Away From God And, Being Attached To The Earth, Refused To Unite Themselves To Their Creator. But The Loving God Has Drawn Them To Himself By The Bonds Of Love, As He Promised By The Prophet Osee [hosea]: "i Will Draw Them With The Cords Of Adam, With The Bonds Of Love" (11:4). These Bonds Are The Benefits, The Lights, The Calls To His Love, The Promises Of Paradise Which He Makes To Us, But Above All, The Gift Which He Has Bestowed Upon Us Of Jesus Christ In The Sacrifice Of The Cross And In The Sacrament Of The Altar.

There Is Nothing More Pleasing To God, Than To See A Soul Who Patiently And Serenely Bears Whatever Crosses It Is Sent; This Is How Love Is Made, By Putting Lover And Loved One On The Same Level. . . A Soul Who Loves Jesus Christ Desires To Be Treated The Way Christ Was Treated-desires To Be Poor, Despised And Humiliated.

True Charity Consists In Doing Good To Those Who Do Us Evil, And In Thus Winning Them Over.

All Would Wish To Be Saved And To Enjoy The Glory Of Paradise; But To Gain Heaven, It Is Necessary To Walk In The Straight Road That Leads To Eternal Bliss. This Road Is The Observance Of The Divine Commandments. Hence, In His Preaching, The Baptist Exclaimed: Make Straight The Way Of The Lord.

Mary Having Co-operated In Our Redemption With So Much Glory To God And So Much Love For Us, Our Lord Ordained That No One Shall Obtain Salvation Except Through Her Intercession.
