THE DREADFUL STATE OF THE LUKEWARM SOUL
HAVE YOU RELIGION IN YOUR HEART?
THE WORLD IS EVERYTHING AND GOD IS NOTHING!
YOUR HEART IS BUT A MASS OF PRIDE

ST. NICHOLAS AND THE THREE GIRLS
ARE YOUR AFFAIRS GOING BETTER?
HOW DEATH WILL REVEAL THIEVES!
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO GIVE, YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO PAY BACK
THE DUTIES OF THE PREGNANT WOMAN
YOU WILL ANSWER FOR THEIR SOULS
TO THEIR SHAME IT MUST BE SAID
GETTING TO KNOW THE RIGHT PEOPLE
BEWARE IF YOU HAVE NO TEMPTATIONS
IT IS NECESSARY TO BE CONVERTED
YOUR PRAYERS ARE ONLY AN INSULT
THE SERVICE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN
We must certainly be extraordinarily blind because when all is said and done, there is not a single person who could say that he is ready to appear before Jesus Christ.
Yet in spite of the fact that we are quite aware of this, there is still not one among us who will take a single step nearer to God.
Dear Lord, how blind the sinner is! How pitiable is his lot! My dear children, let us not live like fools any longer, for at the moment when we least expect it, Jesus Christ will knock at our door. How happy then will be the person who has not been waiting until that very moment to prepare himself for Him.
That is what I wish you to be.
