Lord, How Thou Dost Afflict Thy Lovers!

Prayer Is An Act Of Love. Words Are Not Needed.

How Poor Is The Wisdom Of Men, And How Uncertain Their Forecast!

True Love Grows By Sacrifice And The More Thoroughly The Soul Rejects Natural Satisfaction The Stronger And More Detached Its Tenderness Becomes.

All The Trials We Endure Cannot Be Compared To These Interior Battles.

Keep This In Mind, For It Is Very Important Advice, So Do Not Neglect It Until You Find You Have Such A Fixed Determination Not To Offend The Lord That You Would Rather Lose A Thousand Lives And Be Persecuted By The Whole World, Than Commit One Mortal Sin, And Until You Are Most Careful Not To Commit Venial Sins.
