He may look on death with joy, who can look on forgiveness with faith.

Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.

We spend our years with sighing; it is a valleyof tears; but death is the funeral of all our sorrows.

Let us then ascribe the whole work of grace to the pleasure of God's Will. God did not choose us because we were worthy, but by choosing us He makes us worthy.

The Ediles among the Romans had their doors always standing open, that all who had petitions might have free access to them. The door of heaven is always open for the prayers of God's people.

It is our work to cast care, and it is God's work to take care.

Prayer is the soul's breathing itself into the bosom of its heavenly Father.
