Faith guides even us and we follow its sure light on the way which conducts us to God and His homeland.
Our Lord sends the crosses; we do not have to invent them.
Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly.
We must hide our tears from the One who sends them, from the One who has shed tears Himself and continues to shed them every day because of mans' ingratitude.
Jesus himself wants my sufferings; He needs them for souls.
Walk in the way of the Lord with simplicity and do not torment your spirit. You must hate your defects, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless.
