Knowing Jesus in our Midst
Saint Clare
Our labor here is brief, but the reward is
eternal. Do not be disturbed by the
clamor of the world which passes like a shadow.
Do not let the false delights of the deceptive world deceive you.
Love Him totally Who gave Himself totally
for your love.
Our body is not made of iron. Our strength is not that of stone. Live and hope in the Lord, and let your
service be according to reason. Modify
your holocaust with the salt of prudence.
Melancholy is the poison of devotion. When one is in tribulation, it is necessary
to be more happy and more joyful because one is nearer to God.
Close your eyes to the whisperings of hell
and bravely oppose its onslaughts.
