This is not only a commandment but also a promise or reward.

To be sure, our mental processes often go wrong, so that we imagine God to have gone away. What should be done then? Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure. Learn to behave thus even in deepest distress and keep yourself that way in any and every estate of life. I can give you no better advice than to find God where you lost him.

God does not work in all hearts alike, but according to the preparation and sensitivity He finds in each.

If you love yourself, you love everybody else as you do yourself. As long as you love another person less than you love yourself, you will not really succeed in loving yourself but if you love all alike, including yourself, you will love them as one person and that person is both God and man.

The greatest power available to man is not to use it.

Only the hand that erases can write the true thing.

Be ready at all times for the gifts of God, and always for new ones.
