Get active...fast and pray-meditate on the word of God.
Those who love riches or pleasures offer God nothing but the languid remains of a heart worn out in the service of the world.
No one can give to another that which he possesses not himself.
Worldly people have not the Holy Spirit,or if they have,it is only for a moment.The noise of the world drives him away.
Instead of raising your voice in the newspapers,raise it before the door of the Tabernacle.
Everything that God has made becomes an instrument for good or evil according to the use we make of it.
The Saints were so completely dead to themselves that they cared very little whether others agreed with them or not.With the thought God sees me!-we should never sin.Alas!if we put all our trust in God,how much happier we should be!Do you prefer the pleasure of a moment to your God?God commands you to pray,but he forbids you to worry.Those who are led by the Holy Spirit experience all sorts of happiness in themselves.Never pass a day without thanking Jesus Christ for all he has done for you during your life.For almost six years, I lived exclusively on one meal per day of only boiled potatoes.
