Whoever Strives To Withdraw From

Both Above And Below, Without And Within, Which Way So Ever Thou Dost Turn Thee, Everywhere Thou Shalt Find The Cross; And Everywhere Of Necessity Thou Must Hold Fast Patience, If Thou Wilt Have Inward Peace, And Enjoy An Everlasting Crown.

When Comfort Is Withdrawn, Do Not Be Cast Down, But Humbly And Patiently Await The Visitation Of God. He Is Able And Powerful To Give You More Grace And More Spiritual Comfort Than You First Had.

Purity And Simplicity Are The Two Wings With Which Man Soars Above The Earth And All Temporary Nature.

Do Not Try To Find A Place Free From Temptations And Troubles. Rather, Seek A Peace That Endures Even When You Are Beset By Various Temptations And Tried By Much Adversity.

I Would Far Rather Feel Remorse Than Know How To Define It.
