They who have been exercised in the service of God for a long time, may in their prayers imagine all sorts of insults offered to them, such as blows, wounds, and the like, and so in order to imitate Christ by their charity, may accustom their hearts beforehand to forgive real injuries when they come.

"When we have these extraordinary sweetnesses, we ought to ask of God fortitude to bear whatever He may please to send us, and then to stand very much upon our guard, because there is danger of sin behind."

Indeed we are called to pray unceasingly to our almighty Creator in thanksgiving for his bountiful mercies.

The world was created by God and is good - despite the evil attempts on it, it will always be God's creation and as the saints tell us: God is always with us and everywhere....even in the mayhem of wars, injustices etc.....all is part of the greater plan when He chooses to reveal it

"A man should not so attach himself to the means as to forget the end; neither must we give ourselves so much to mortify the flesh as to forget to mortify the brain, which is the chief thing after all."

"We must not omit our ordinary devotions for every trifling occasion that may come in the way, such as going to confession on our fixed days, and particularly hearing Mass on weekdays; if we wish to go out walking, or anything of that sort, let us make our confession, and perform our usual exercises first, and then go."
