February 4th.
Has not everyone felt at times, only too rarely, the joy steal over him that he has no wish or will before him? Nothing is unfulfilled, because God is everywhere. He has felt for God and has found Him; and so he has nothing to seek, nothing to desire. Possible evils are allowed to present themselves to his imagination, only that he may realise more utterly the gladness of his complete indifference to them. He is at rest. Earth has hold of none of his heart-strings. The whole world is full of ends to him. He can lie down anywhere; for everything is a bed, because he refers all things to God.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
