Nothing seems tiresome or painful when you are working for a Master who pays well; who rewards even a cup of cold water given for love of Him - Saint Dominic de Silos
In tribulations, turn to God with confidence. You will obtain strength, light and knowledge. In joys and successes, turn to God with fear and sincerity. You will escape all snares and be free of everything false - St. John of the Cross
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, if we wish to attain heaven, we must be prepared to truly follow Christ by cutting off every and all things that will make us not attain the kingdom of heaven by resisting our evil inclinations. Then through sacrifice, give up things that are needed and that are dearest to our human nature and avoid the temptations of the devil.
