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.

He will take good care to provide what is necessary for our sanctification, provided we are careful to accept everything according to His designs.

We must submit to the Will of God and kiss the hand that strikes us, for we know it is better to suffer in this life than in the next, since one moment of suffering willingly accepted for the love God, is worth an eternity of happiness.

We must never be discouraged or give way to anxiety. . . but ever have recourse to the adorable Heart of Jesus.

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