Praise and Thanksgiving to God
|
|
|
|
| |
Be thankful for the
smallest blessing, and you will receive greater. Value the least gifts
no less than the greatest and simple graces as especial favours. If you
remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean, for
nothing can be valueless that is given by the most High God. Even if He
awards punishment and pain, accept them gladly, for whatever he allows
to befall us is always for our salvation.

O God, though our sins
be seven, though our sins be seventy times seven, though our sins be
more in number than the hairs on our head. yet give us grace in loving
penitence to cast ourselves down into the depths of your compassion. |

Rest in God's Presence |
| |
|

The greatness of man is
that he knows himself to be miserable. A •tree does not know itself to
be miserable. The miseries themselves prove mans' greatness. They are
the miseries of a great Lord, a deposed king.... The man who knows God
but does not know his own misery becomes proud. The man who knows his
own misery but does not know God ends in despair... The knowledge of
Jesus Christ constitutes the middle course because in him we find both
God and our own misery. Jesus Christ is therefore a God who we approach
without pride, and before whom we humble ourselves without despair.

O God, worthy of an infinite love. I have
nothing which can adequately measure thy dignity, but such is my desire
towards thee that if I had all that thou hast. I would gladly and
thankfully resign all to thee.
