Assuredly, Loving Souls, you should go to God with all humility and respect, humbling yourselves in His presence, especially when you remember your past ingratitude and sins.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And for yourself, whatever there has been either of sin or duty, remember the one and forget the other, and betake yourself wholly to the mercy of God and the merit of Christ.
Try to keep your soul always in peace and quiet, always ready for whatever our Lord may wish to work in you. It is certainly a higher virtue of the soul, and a greater grace, to be able to enjoy the Lord in different times and different places than in only one.
But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive.
Give yourself entirely to God, enter and hide in the hidden ground of your soul.
The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.
If it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul.
Forever may it remain that way. And may God bless these now-found souls.
Heaven lent you a soul, Earth will lend a grave.
Some lessons take years to learn, with repeated exposure to the same path sometimes shadowed by the inner conscience of own souls. But eventually we learn, and our journey continues in another direction.
Go straight for souls, and go for the worst.
