order to win and wear the victor's crown in heaven, how consoling, is the thought that you will be able to conquer through the might of love, through the love of Christ!
And He, the Saviour of the world, has made it so easy for us to love Him, because He first loved us, and has done so very much for as. Ought it not rather to be difficult not to love this divine Redeemer?
6. Wherefore let a true and all-absorbing love of God enter into your heart and dwell there. This love streams forth from the tabernacle, from the Sacrament of Love. At this moment the Saviour is knocking at the door of your heart. Open to Him; let Him enter in, that He may inflame you with His love. Pray, pray: Heart of Jesus inflamed with love of me, inflame my heart with love of Thee!
Thus shall you conquer through the power of love; conquer your impure and evil passions; this unholy fire will be subdued by the holy fire of a true love of God.
Darkness shrouds your future; who can lift the veil which conceals it? Perhaps it is thick with storms and strife; but if love of Christ reigns in your heart, you will pass in safety through life's long day and death's dark night. Wherefore pray frequently and fervently to your Redeemer in some such words as these:
O Christ, whose life on earth was love,
Our hearts with charity inspires
