For What Is Idolatry If Not This:

We Should Ask God To Increase Our Hope When It Is Small, Awaken It When It Is Dormant, Confirm It When It Is Wavering, Strengthen It When It Is Weak, And Raise It Up When It Is Overthrown.

Prayer Unaccompanied By Perseverance Leads To No Result.

For Our Hearts Are Enfeebled By Prosperity, So That We Cannot Make The Effort To Pray.

There Cannot Be A Surer Rule, Nor A Stronger Exhortation To The Observance Of It, Than When We Are Taught That All The Endowments Which We Possess Are Divine Deposits Entrusted To Us For The Very Purpose Of Being Distributed For The Good Of Our Neighbour.

The Torture Of A Bad Conscience Is The Hell Of A Living Soul.
