If God Causes You To

Remember That Bodily Exercise, When It Is Well Ordered, As I Have Said, Is Also Prayer By Means Of Which You Can Please God Our Lord.

Teach Us, Good Lord, To Give And Not Count The Cost; To Fight And Not To Heed The Wounds; To Toil And Not To Seek For Rest; To Labor And Not To Ask For Any Reward Save That Of Knowing That We Do Thy Will.

It Is Not Hard To Obey When We Love The One Whom We Obey.

Above All, Remember That God Looks For Solid Virtues In Us, Such As Patience, Humility, Obedience, Abnegation Of Your Own Will - That Is, The Good Will To Serve Him And Our Neighbor In Him. His Providence Allows Us Other Devotions Only Insofar As He Sees That They Are Useful To Us.

Be Generous To The Poor Orphans And Those In Need. The Man To Whom Our Lord Has Been Liberal Ought Not To Be Stingy. We Shall One Day Find In Heaven As Much Rest And Joy As We Ourselves Have Dispensed In This Life.
