Giving Tuesday - Title Only

Pray twenty four hours every day – that is, perform all your actions with heart and mind raised to God, holding yourself in interior solitude, and reposing in God in pure faith.

If you cannot spend much time at prayer, no matter: to act well is always to pray well.

The moth flies round the flame and falls into it; let your soul be drawn into the divine light and consumed in it.

Let us be generous, let us serve the Lord nobly, let us practise great virtues; God will be our strength and will give us victory.

Love speaks little. The language of divine love is a burning heart; no words can express its ardors; they make of the loving soul a victim of love, a holocaust, consumed and reduced to ashes in the divine fire of charity.

Be faithful to correspond with the wonderful graces which you have received from Our Lord; they are a preparation for greater graces and more sublime lights, which will cause you to love God more, to acquire more solid virtue, and to practice it in a more heroic degree.

If God grants you the gift of prayer, be faithful to it; take care, however, that you do not become slothful in the practice of virtues and the imitation of Jesus.

Oh, how I wish that everybody would apply himself to meditation and prayer! What a misfortune that there are so few souls who know the hidden treasure contained in prayer and union with God!
