One Rarely Does Well What One Rarely

The Highest Point Of Humility Consists In Not Merely Acknowledging One's Abjection, But In Taking Pleasure Therein, Not From Any Want Of Breadth Or Courage, But To Give The More Glory To God's Divine Majesty, And To Esteem One's Neighbour More Highly Than One's Self.

Go To Your Confessor; Open Your Heart To Him; Display To Him All The Recesses Of Your Soul; Take The Advice That He Will Give You With The Utmost Humility And Simplicity. For God, Who Has An Infinite Love For Obedience, Frequently Renders Profitable The Counsels We Take From Others, But Especially From Those Who Are The Guides Of Our Souls.

Do Not Complain Then Of Your Poverty, My Daughter, - We Only Complain Of That Which Is Unwelcome, And If Poverty Is Unwelcome To You, You Are No Longer Poor In Spirit.

He Who Stays Not In His Littleness, Loses His Greatness.

In No Other Action Can Our Savior Be Considered More Tender Or More Loving Than In This, In Which He, As It Were, Annihilates Himself And Reduces Himself To Food, That He May Penetrate Our Souls And Unite Himself To The Hearts Of His Faithful.
