Crosses, contempt, sorrows and afflictions are the real treasures of the lovers of Jesus Christ crucified

Cling to God, and leave all the rest to Him: He will not let you perish. Your soul is very dear to Him, He wishes to save it.

Are you making no progress in prayer? Then you need only offer God the prayers which the Savior has poured out for us in the sacrament of the altar. Offer God His fervent love in reparation for your sluggishness.

Go courageously to God, along the way He has traced out for you, steadfastly embracing the means He offers you.

Have recourse trustfully to Gods loving kindness and He will not forsake you, for He longs to bestow His graces. Though you may have had the misfortune to offend Him, He is always ready to receive you, provided you return humbly to Him.

Crosses, contempt, sorrows and afflictions are the real treasures of the lovers of Jesus Christ crucified

But above all preserve peace of heart. This is more valuable than any treasure.
