Always Be Ready; Always Live In Such

My God, Sweetness Beyond Words, Make Bitter All The Carnal Comfort That Draws Me From Love Of The Eternal And Lures Me To Its Evil Self By The Sight Of Some Delightful Good In The Present. Let It Not Overcome Me, My God. Let Not Flesh And Blood Conquer Me. Let Not The World And Its Brief Glory Deceive Me, Nor The Devil Trip Me By His Craftiness. Give Me Courage To Resist, Patience To Endure, And Constancy To Persevere. Give Me The Soothing Unction Of Your Spirit Rather Than All The Consolations Of The World, And In Place Of Carnal Love, Infuse Into Me The Love Of Your Name.

Every Man Naturally Desires Knowledge; But What Good Is Knowledge Without Fear Of God? Indeed A Humble Rustic Who Serves God Is Better Than A Proud Intellectual Who Neglects His Soul To Study The Course Of The Stars.

Anyone Who Thinks Hard Work Will Never Hurt You Has Never Had To Pay To Have It Done. Jesus Now Has Many Lovers Of His Heavenly Kingdom, But Few Bearers Of His Cross.

For It Is The Grace Of Christ, And Not Our Own Virtue, That Gives Us The Power To Overcome The Flesh And The World.

He Will Be With You Also, All The Way, That Faithful God. Every Morning When You Awaken To The Old And Tolerable Pain, At Every Mile Of The Hot Uphill Dusty Road Of Tiring Duty, On To The Judgment Seat, The Same Christ There As Ever, Still Loving You, Still Sufficient For You, Even Then. And Then, On Through All Eternity.
