Christ rises above all things.

Prayer is the link that connects us with God.

When you cannot rejoice in feelings, circumstances or conditions, rejoice in the Lord.

I would rather play with forked lightning, or take in my hand living wires with their fiery current, than to speak a reckless word against any servant of Christ, or idly repeat the slanderous darts which thousands of Christians are hurling on others, to the hurt of their own souls and bodies.

Often we want people to pray for us and help us, but we always defeat our object when we look too much to them and lean upon them. The true secret of union is for both to look upon God, and in the act of looking past themselves to Him they are unconsciously united.

We cannot ask in behalf of Christ what Christ would not ask Himself if He were praying.

May God so fill us today with the heart of Christ that we may glow with the divine fire of holy desire.
