Idleness Is The Enemy Of The Soul.

I Do Not Try, Lord, To Attain Your Lofty Heights, Because My Understanding Is In No Way Equal To It. But I Do Desire To Understand Your Truth A Little, That Truth That My Heart Believes And Loves. I Do Not Seek To Understand That I May Believe; But I Believe So That I May Understand. For I Believe This Also, That Unless I Believe, I Shall Not Understand.

O Supreme And Unapproachable Light! O Whole And Blessed Truth, How Far Art Thou From Me, Who Am So Near To Thee! How Far Removed Art Thou From My Vision, Though I Am So Near To Thine! Everywhere Thou Art Wholly Present, And I See Thee Not. In Thee I Move, And In Thee I Have My Being; And I Cannot Come To Thee. Thou Art Within Me, And About Me, And I Feel Thee Not.

But A Problem Occurs About Nothing. For That From Which Something Is Made Is A Cause Of The Thing Made From It; And, Necessarily,every Cause Contributes Some Assistance To The Effect's Existence.

It Is Impossible To Save One's Soul Without Devotion To Mary And Without Her Protection.

A Single Mass Offered For Oneself During Life May Be Worth More Than A Thousand Celebrated For The Same Intention After Death.
