disinterested love—disinterested love is for us to console Jesus, not for Him to console us.
"He is, I know, so kind of heart that if you weep He will dry your tears; but afterwards He will go away quite sorrowful, not being able to find in you the repose He sought. Jesus loves the joyous heart, He loves the ever smiling soul. When will you learn to hide your troubles from Him, or to tell Him in gladsome tones that you are happy to suffer for His sake?"
COUNSELS AND REMINISCENCES
The soul is reflected in the countenance:
like to a little child always
content, your countenance should be
invariably calm and serene. When you
are alone be still the same, because you
are ever in the Angels' sight.
COUNSELS AND REMINISCENCES
Our Divine Lord wishes to have His
court here below as on High, He desires
angel-martyrs, angel-apostles.
