Your God Is Ever Beside

How, Then, Shall God Give Himself Entirely To That One Who, Besides His God, Loves Creatures Still?

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. Speak To Him Often Of Your Business, Your Plans, Your Troubles, Your Fears - Of Everything That Concerns You. Converse With Him Confidently And Frankly; For God Is Not Wont To Speak To A Soul That Does Not Speak To Him.

If You Embrace All Things In This Life As Coming From The Hands Of God, And Even Embrace Death To Fulfill His Holy Will, Assuredly You Will Die A Saint.

Just As A Mother Finds Pleasure In Taking Her Little Child On Her Lap, There To Feed And Caress Him, In Like Manner Our Loving God Shows His Fondness For His Beloved Souls Who Have Given Themselves Entirely To Him And Have Placed All Their Hope In His Goodness.

If We Should Be Saved And Become Saints, We Ought Always To Stand At The Gates Of The Divine Mercy To Beg And Pray For, As An Alms, All That We Need.
