God Will Not Be Outdone In Generosity.

We Should Not Have A Petty Regard For God's Gifts, Though We May And Should Despise Our Own Imperfections.

After You Have Made A Decision That Is Pleasing To God, The Devil May Try To Make You Have Second Thoughts. Intensify Your Prayer Time, Meditation, And Good Deeds. For If Satan's Temptations Merely Cause You To Increase Your Efforts To Grow In Holiness, He'll Have An Incentive To Leave You Alone.

As For Joy, As Little As One Can Have Of It In This Life, Experience Shows That It Is Not The Idle Who Possess It, But Those Who Are Zealous In The Service Of God.

In The Case Of Those Who Are Making Progress From Good To Better, The Good Angel Touches The Soul Gently, Lightly, Sweetly, As A Drop Of Water Enters A Sponge, While The Evil Spirit Touches It Sharply, With Noise And Disturbance, Like A Drop Of Water Falling On A Rock.

Take, O Lord, And Receive My Entire Liberty, My Memory, My Understanding And My Whole Will. All That I Am And All That I Possess You Have Given Me. I Surrender It All To You To Be Disposed Of According To Your Will. Give Me Only Your Love And Your Grace; With These I Will Be Rich Enough, And Will Desire Nothing More.
