Overview

This work commences WHY SO MANY PERSONS DO NOT LOVE GOD AS THEY DESIRE. MANY persons highly gifted, both by nature and grace, with religious dispositions, earnestly desire to love God above all things, with their whole heart, with their whole soul, with all their strength and with all their mind. In order to reach this perfection of love, they live a truly Christian life. They confess and receive holy communion as often as they are permitted; and they certainly endeavor to perform these two holy actions, vith the necessary dispositions. They hear Mass devoutly on Sundays, holy days, and even on week days. They listen attentively and respectfully to sermons; and they seldom, if ever, neglect the duty of prayer. In a word, they really try to be good, by performing all their duties, and by practising the virtues which their state and position in life demand. They are not only in earnest about saving their souls, but many of them are, moreover, aiming at a high degree of Christian perfection, either in the world or in religious communities. They are, therefore, members of that little flock which the heart of Jesus loves so tenderly, and which He addresses in these words: Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.
