14

To-day G.o.d invites you to do good; do it therefore to-day. To-morrow you may not have time, or G.o.d may no longer call you to do it.--ST.

ALPHONSUS.

15

To advance in the way of perfection it does not suffice to say a number of weak prayers; our princ.i.p.al care should be to acquire solid virtues.--ST. TERESA.

16

Humility is the virtue of Our Lord Jesus Christ, of His blessed Mother, and of the greatest saints. It embraces all virtues and, where it is sincere, introduces them into the soul.--ST. VINCENT DE PAUL.

17

It will be a great consolation for us at the hour of death to know that we are to be judged by Him whom we have loved above all things during life.--ST. TERESA.

18

Humble submission and obedience to the decrees of the Sovereign Pontiffs are good means for distinguis.h.i.+ng the loyal from the rebellious children of the Church.--ST. VINCENT DE PAUL.

19

The devil attacks us at the time of prayer more frequently than at other times. His object is to make us weary of prayer.--BL. HENRY SUSO.

20

It is an act as rare as it is precious, to transact business with many people, without ever forgetting G.o.d or oneself.--ST. IGNATIUS.

21

G.o.d is our light. The farther the soul strays away from G.o.d, the deeper it goes into darkness.--ST. ALPHONSUS.

22

True Christian prudence makes us submit our intellect to the maxims of the Gospel without fear of being deceived. It teaches us to judge things as Jesus Christ judged them, and to speak and act as He did.--ST.

VINCENT DE PAUL.

23

Remember that men change easily, and that you can not place your trust in them; therefore attach yourself to G.o.d alone.--ST. TERESA.

24

If we secretly feel a desire to appear greater or better than others, we must repress it at once.--ST. TERESA.

25

The King of heaven deigned to be born in a stable, because He came to destroy pride, the cause of man's ruin.--ST. ALPHONSUS.

26

To save our souls we must live according to the maxims of the Gospel, and not according to those of the world.--ST. ALPHONSUS.

27

Be gentle and kind with every one, and severe with yourself.--ST.

TERESA.

28

If you wish to be pleasing to G.o.d and happy here below, be in all things united to His will.--ST. ALPHONSUS.

29

In proportion as the love of G.o.d increases in our soul, so does also the love of suffering.--ST. VINCENT DE PAUL.

30

He who keeps steadily on without pausing, will reach the end of his path and the summit of perfection.--ST. TERESA.

31

The past is no longer yours; the future is not yet in your power. You have only the present wherein to do good.--ST. ALPHONSUS.
