It Is Often Said That Second Thoughts

How Can We Understand Forgiveness If We Haven't Recognized The Depth Of Our Sin?

It Is Not God's Way That Great Blessings Should Descend Without The Sacrifice First Of Great Sufferings. If The Truth Is To Be Spread To Any Wide Extent Among The People, How Can We Dream, How Can We Hope, That Trial And Trouble Shall Not Accompany Its Going Forth.

How Can We Feel Our Need Of His Help, Or Our Dependence On Him, Or Our Debt To Him, Or The Nature Of His Gift To Us, Unless We Know Ourselves.... This Is Why Many In This Age (and In Every Age) Become Infidels, Heretics, Schismatics, Disloyal Despisers Of The Church.... They Have Never Had Experience Of His Power And Love, Because They Have Never Known Their Own Weakness And Need.

Somehow I Am Necessary For His Purposes, As Necessary In My Place As An Archangel In His.

A Man Would Do Nothing If He Waited Until He Could Do It So Well That No One Could Find Fault.
