Let us live no more to ourselves, but to Him who loved us, and gave Himself to die for us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
We let ourselves be molded and transformed by Christ and continually pass from the side of one who destroys to that of the one who saves.
Out of love for His Father and for us, He allowed Himself to suffer beyond the capacity of mortal man. He told us some of what that infinite sacrifice required of Him.
We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
Let us die as soon as possible, and by whatever process God shall appoint. And when we are dead to the world, and nature, and self, we shall begin to live to God.
Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.
Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.
Let us fill our hearts with our own compassion - towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
We cannot live, suffer or die for somebody else, for suffering is too precious to be shared.
