ONE ought to pray earnestly, especially at the Ember Seasons, that God will
give us good priests. If they are saints, what good they are able to do! But,
whatever they are,never speak against them.
- On the Priesthood (C.)
THOSE who practice devotion, who go often to Confession and Communion,
and fail to do works of faith and charity, are like trees in blossom. You think there
will be as much fruit as flower; but there is a great difference . . . .
- On the Joys of the Interior Life (Sp.)
WE love God truly in so far as, when finding ourselves with people who differ
from us, we behave graciously to them, speak charitably of them, are willing to
meet them again, and to do them a kindness . . . .
- Le Cure d'Ars et le Don de Force.
WE can do nothing by ourselves, my children,
but we can do everything with the help of God . . . .
- Sermon on Temptations (Sp.)
ONE day, Our Lord said to St. Catherine of Siena; "I want you to make
a Retreat in your heart, and to come there to be alone with Me and keep
Me company." Well, let us do the same . . . .
Signs of true love for God.
