February 1
Great love can change small things into great ones,and it is only love which lends value to our actions.
And the purer our love becomes,
the less there will be within us for the flames of suffering to feed upon,
and the suffering will cease to be a suffering for us;it will become a delight!
By the grace of God,I have received such a disposition of heart
that I am never so happy as when I suffer for Jesus,
whom I love with every beat of my heart.

Love casts out fear since I came to love God with my whole being and with all the strength of my heart, fear has left me.

God is love, and His Spirit is Peace. I see now that my deeds which have flowed from love are more perfect than those which I have done out of fear.
I have placed my trust in God and fear nothing. I have given myself over to his Holy wills and I shall love Him.
