Do
not love the world or its pleasures. They are all seemingly
attractive and beautiful; but within, all is corruption, vileness,
emptiness, and remorse. Oh, my brother, let us love God, our dear,
good God, and be as sheep under His hand. Love Him, and you will have
no cause for repentance even on this earth. He, too, promises us joys
and pleasures, but they are joys certain, inexpressible, eternal, pax
Dei quae exsuperat omnem sensum, the peace of God which transcends
every sense.
--
Saint Jean-Théophane Vénard
