All graces are in Him; He is the fountain and the
fullness of them all; He longs to pour them out over dear souls, souls
that He died for; and they will not let Him; [...] Go and help Jesus. Why should
a single soul be lost, for which He died ?
I say, why should one be lost ? It is a horrible thing to think of
a lost soul, most horrible. And why should they be lost?
why?
There is Precious Blood to be had for the asking; and what it
gives is grace.
But men do not care about grace. St. Paul
When the Fountain of all grace is springing up like a living well
of joy in the heart after Communion, ask Him to open all men's eyes to the
beauty of his grace, and so will you cause His grace to multiply, and with the
multiplication of grace His interests to prosper.
For thus stands the case with our dear Lord, that the more He
gives away, the richer He becomes.
