Let Us Thank God For

In The Great Deluge In The Days Of Noah, Nearly All Mankind Perished, Eight Persons Alone Being Saved In The Ark. In Our Days A Deluge, Not Of Water But Of Sins, Continually Inundates The Earth, And Out Of This Deluge Very Few Escape. Scarcely Anyone Is Saved.

Let Us Remember The Devil Labors Hard To Disturb Us At The Time Of Recollection In Order To Make Us Abandon It. Let Him Then Who Omits Mental Prayer On Account Of Distractions Be Persuaded That He Gives Delight To The Devil.

Acquire The Habit Of Speaking To God As If You Were Alone With Him, Familiarly And With Confidence And Love, As To The Dearest And Most Loving Of Friends.

Good Friends Find Pleasure In One Another's Company. Let Us Know Pleasure In The Company Of Our Best Friend, A Friend Who Can Do Everything For Us, A Friend Who Loves Us Beyond Measure. Here In The Blessed Sacrament We Can Talk To Him Straight From The Heart. We Can Open Our Souls To Him, Tell Him What We Need, Beg Him For Powerful Graces. We Are Perfectly Free To Approach The King Of The Universe With Full Confidence And Without Fear.

If You Wish To Strengthen Your Confidence In God Still More, Often Recall The Loving Way In Which He Has Acted Toward You, And How Mercifully He Has Tried To Bring You Out Of Your Sinful Life, To Break Your Attachment To The Things Of Earth And Draw You To His Love.
