• We must remember that if all the manifestly good men were on one side and all the manifestly bad men on the other, there would be no danger of anyone, least of all the elect, being deceived by lying wonders. It is the good men, good once, we must hope good still, who are to do the work of Anti-Christ and so sadly to crucify the Lord afresh.... Bear in mind this feature of the last days, that this deceitfulness arises from good men being on the wrong side.

• Poor human nature cannot do everything; and kindness is too often left uncultivated, because men do not sufficiently understand its value. Men may be charitable, yet not kind; merciful, yet not kind; self-denying, yet not kind. If they would add a little common kindness to their uncommon graces, they would convert ten where they now only abate the prejudice of one.

  Kindness, Men, Self

• Ahora son los días, de la oración más humilde,
  cuando las conciencias se desnudan ante Dios,
  y la misericordia se deleita en perdonar.
  Oh, escucha cuando clamamos.
  Ahora es la estación, sabiamente larga,
  de pensamientos más tristes y canciones más graves,
  Cuando las almas enfermas crecen sanas y fuertes.
  Oh, escucha cuando lloramos.
  ¡La fiesta de la penitencia! Oh tan brillante,
  con la luz celestial de la verdadera conversión,
  ¡Como el amanecer después de una noche tormentosa!
  Oh, escucha cuando lloramos.
  Oh tiempo feliz de lágrimas benditas,
  de esperanzas más seguras, de temores escarmentados,
  Deshaciendo todos nuestros malos años.
  Oh, escucha cuando lloramos.
  Castíguenos con tu temor;
  Pero, Padre, en la multitud
  de tu compasión, ¡escucha!

• He draws us to Himself by grace, by example, by power, by lovingness, by beauty, by pardon, and above all by the Blessed Sacrament. Every one who has had anything to do with ministering to souls has seen the power which Jesus has. Talent is not needed. Eloquence is comparatively unattractive. Learning is often beside the mark. Controversy simply repels... All the attraction of the Church is in Jesus, and His chief attraction is the Blessed Sacrament

• Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament is the queen of all devotions. It is the central devotion of the Church. All others gather round it, and group themselves there as satellites; for others celebrate his mysteries; this is Himself. It is the universal devotion. No one can be without it, in order to be a Christian. How can a man be a Christian who does not worship the living Presence of Christ?

• The Blessed Sacrament is the magnet of souls. There is a mutual attraction between Jesus and the souls of men. Mary drew Him down from heaven. Our nature attracted Him rather than the nature of angels. Our misery caused Him to stoop to our lowness. Even our sins had a sort of attraction for the abundance of His mercy and the predilection of His grace. Our repentance wins Him to us. Our love makes earth a paradise to Him; and our souls lure Him as gold lures the miser, with irresistible fascination
