When you are excited to impatience, think for a moment how much more reason God has to be angry with you, than you can have for anger against any human being; and yet how constant is His patience and forbearance.

She is a breath of divine power, a most pure effusion of the Most High; hence nothing sullied can ever contaminate her. She is a reflection of the eternal light, a spotless mirror of God’s activity, an image of his excellence. She is indeed more beautiful than the sun, surpasses all the constellations, and compared to light itself, she is more brilliant.
The Lord could have created a more beautiful heaven, He could have made a larger world, but He could not have created a mother greater than the Mother of God.
Do not persist in your unbelief, but believe!

If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint.
