Despondency Is Not A State Of Humility;

Our Piety Must Be Weak And Imperfect If It Do Not Conquer Our Fear Of Death.

Never Let Us Be Discouraged With Ourselves. It Is Not When We Are Conscious Of Our Faults That We Are The Most Wicked; On The Contrary, We Are Less So. We See By A Brighter Light; And Let Us Remember For Our Consolation, That We Never Perceive Our Sins Till We Begin To Cure Them.

It Is This Unquiet Self-love That Renders Us So Sensitive. The Sick Man, Who Sleeps Ill, Thinks The Night Long. We Exaggerate, From Cowardice, All The Evils Which We Encounter; They Are Great, But Our Sensibility Increases Them. The True Way To Bear Them Is To Yield Ourselves Up With Confidence To God.

To Be Faithful In Prayer It Is Indispensable That We Arrange All The Activities Of The Day With A Regularity That Nothing Can Disturb

Time Spent In Prayer Is Never Wasted.
