Oh, How Great Peace And Quietness Would

He Does Much Who Loves God Much, And He Does Much Who Does His Deed Well, And He Does His Deed Well Who Does It Rather For The Common Good Than For His Own Will.

Jesus Has Many Lovers Of His Kingdom Of Heaven, But He Has Few Bearers Of His Cross. Many Desire His Consolation, But Few Desire His Tribulation. He Finds Many Comrades In Eating And Drinking, But He Finds Few Hands Who Will Be With Him In His Abstinence And Fastingbut Those Who Love Jesus Purely For Himself, And Not For Their Own Profit Or Convenience, Bless Him As Heartily In Temptation And Tribulation And In All Other Adversities As They Do In Time Of Consolation. And If He Never Sent Them Consolation, They Would Still Bless And Praise Him.

As Iron Put Into The Fire Loseth Its Rust And Becometh Clearly Red-hot, So He That Wholly Turneth Himself Unto God Puts Off All Slothfulness, And Is Transformed Into A New Man.

At The Day Of Judgment We Shall Not Be Asked What We Have Read But What We Have Done.

To Say That I Am Made In The Image Of God Is To Say That Love Is The Reason For My Existence, For God Is Love.
