ARK-65 The Beauty of Virtue

THE BEAUTY OF VIRTUE


ARK-65 7-Apr-95 The Lord

1) In this life true virtue never ends. No matter how much one
has gone ahead in virtue, you can and must advance further.

2) Do not be satisfied only with the natural virtues because they
do not gain eternal fruits only temporal ones.

3) Every plant that does not have its origin in divine grace will
be uprooted. Perfection and its progress, in the order of grace,
cannot be obtained but through previous desires of the heart.

4) Bring often to memory the great and powerful motives that
push you to greater advances in perfection. For that, consider
who is He to whom you serve, how pleasant are His infinite
perfections, and it will encourage you to love.

5) Remember the benefits that I have given you and if your
hearts have not completely lost their capacity to feel, you will
love Me with a new sentiment of gratitude.

6) Weigh the seriousness and the multitude of the sins that I
have pardoned you with a paternal love. Do you believe, by
good fortune, that you will do a lot for Me, no matter how
much you do?

7) Contemplate the unhappiness of those to whom sin or
lukewarmness enslaves and the indescribable happiness of
those who, on the contrary, serve Me with a fervent love. In
summary, take note of the beauty of virtue and the ugliness of
vice... Meditate on the brevity of the present life and the
eternity of the future life, the assured death and the uncertainty
of the hour of death...
