There Is No One, After God, Who

There Is No One, After God, Who Loves Us As Much As This Most Loving Mother Does.

Let Us Remember The Devil Labors Hard To Disturb Us At The Time Of Recollection In Order To Make Us Abandon It. Let Him Then Who Omits Mental Prayer On Account Of Distractions Be Persuaded That He Gives Delight To The Devil.

By The Law Of Nature, There Is No Pleasure In Suffering; But Divine Love, When It Reigns In A Heart, Makes It Take Delight In Its Sufferings.

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.

Mary Being Destined To Negotiate Peace Between God And Man, It Was Not Proper That She Should Be An Accomplice In The Disobedience Of Adam.
