THE reward is so great for such a little effort. What have we to hear?
Some humiliations, losses, sickness, sharp words? . . . But they will not

- On Salvation (C.)
TO pray well we need not speak much.

use of it in loving God.
- Catechism on Purity (Sp.)

that poor person; it was to Me that you rendered that service; it was to Me
that you gave alms at your door."
