Since God wishes it - there is nothing to be done. . . Why should you thus torment yourself? Get rid of whatever He shows you to be an obstacle to His love, for His only desire is that you should live stripped of all that is not Himself.
Margaret Mary AlacoqueWe must never be discouraged or give way to anxiety. . . but ever have recourse to the adorable Heart of Jesus.
Margaret Mary AlacoqueDo not distress yourself on account of any distaste or dryness you experience in God's service. He wills that you should serve Him fervently and constantly it is true, but without any other help than simple faith, and thus your love will be more disinterested, and your service the more pleasing to Him.
Margaret Mary AlacoqueUntil we have acquired genuine prayer, we are like people teaching children to begin to walk.
