He Who Embraces The Cross And Bears

You May Be Sure That Of All The Moments Of Your Life, The Time You Spend Before The Divine Sacrament Will Be That Which Will Give You More Strength During Life And More Consolation At The Hour Of Your Death And During Eternity

When We Hear People Talk Of Riches, Honors And Amusements Of The World, Let Us Remember That All Things Have An End, And Let Us Then Say: My God, I Wish For You Alone And Nothing More.

St. Augustine And St. Thomas Define Mortal Sin To Be A Turning Away From God: That Is, The Turning Of One's Back Upon God, Leaving The Creator For The Sake Of The Creature. What Punishment Would That Subject Deserve Who, While His King Was Giving Him A Command, Contemptuously Turned His Back Upon Him To Go And Transgress His Orders? This Is What The Sinner Does; And This Is Punished In Hell With The Pain Of Loss, That Is, The Loss Of God, A Punishment Richly Deserved By Him Who In This Life Turns His Back Upon His Sovereign Good.

Since His Delights Are To Be With You, Let Yours Be Found In Him.

To Obtain Salvation We Must Tremble At The Thought Of Being Lost, And Tremble Not So Much At The Thought Of Hell, As Of Sin, Which Alone Can Send Us Thither. He Who Dreads Sin Avoids Dangerous Occasions, Frequently Recommends Himself To God, And Has Recourse To The Means Of Keeping Himself In The State Of Grace. He Who Acts Thus Will Be Saved; But For Him Who Lives Not In This Manner It Is Morally Impossible To Be Saved.
