He complains much of our blindness, and cries often that we are to bepitied who content ourselves with so little. GOD, saith he, _hasinfinite treasure to bestow, and we take up with a little sensibledevotion, which passes in a moment. Blind as we are, we hinder GOD, and stop the current of His graces. But when He finds a soulpenetrated with a lively faith, He pours into it His graces and favorsplentifully: there they flow like a torrent, which, after beingforcibly stopped against its ordinary c...ourse, when it has found apassage, spreads itself with impetuosity and abundance_. Yes, we often stop this torrent by the little value we set upon it. But let us stop it no more; let us enter into ourselves and break downthe bank which hinders it. Let us make way for grace; let us redeemthe lost time, for perhaps we have but little left. Death follows usclose; let us be well prepared for it: for we die but once; and amiscarriage _there_ is irretrievable. I say again, let us enter into ourselves.
