Time Spent In Prayer Is Never Wasted.

If God Bores You, Tell Him That He Bores You, That You Prefer The Vilest Amusements To His Presence, That You Only Feel At Your Ease When You Are Far From Him.

He Who Prays Without Confidence Cannot Hope That His Prayers Will Be Granted.

Simplicity Brings Back The Joys Of Paradise. Not That We Have Pure Pleasure Without A Moment's Suffering, But When We Are Surrendered To God, We Are Not Grasping For Pleasure, And Even Our Troubles Are Received With Thanksgiving. This Inner Harmony, And This Deliverance From Fear And The Tormenting Desires Of Self, Create A Satisfaction In The Soul Which Is Above All The Intoxicating Joys Of This World Put Together.

Resign Every Forbidden Joy; Restrain Every Wish That Is Not Referred To God's Will; Banish All Eager Desires, All Anxiety; Desire Only The Will Of God; Seek Him Alone And Supremely, And You Will Find Peace.

We May Be Sure That It Is The Love Of God Only That Can Make Us Come Out Of Self. If His Powerful Hand Did Not Sustain Us, We Should Not Know How To Take The First Step In That Direction.
