“found within it. There are those who are continually irritated, annoyed, anxious, depressed, and even downright furious; and there are those who have found fleeting relief from such ailments by self-medicating with some psychological or physiological trick they play on themselves—engaging in self-deceit through the “Power of Positive Thinking,” practicing self-harm with the abuse of legal or illegal substances, or dedicating themselves with unbounded effort to some vain ambition whose fleeting rewards will scarcely be noticed moments after they have begun.

“The Trinity of love is seeking souls on whom it can bestow its divine treasures. Infinite Goodness needs to give, to give itself. Few are those souls who abandon themselves totally to the sovereign will. If God is to pour a profusion of graces on a human soul, he must find Jesus living there. A soul is too finite to contain the ocean of infinite favors; but Jesus, the Illimitable, taking the place of what is limited, can satisfy in some way the immense desire of the heavenly Father. If a soul is to become an abyss, fit to be taken possession of by the Infinite, complete annihilation, in the spiritual sense, of what is human is essential; then, the substitution of Jesus for this human being and perfect continuing self-abandonment to the divine Agent. The adorable Trinity desires to pour out its treasures of mercy and love on Jesus substituted for my being. My gentle Master, taking my place, says to his Father, (still in silence, I find no other way to express it): Father, here I am to do your will. Father, the hour has come, let what you will be done in me.”
