Dear Fellow Net.Religion.Christians:

The following I am inputting as it is
from a pamphlet that my mother gave to
me thirty-five years ago.  It held true
then...and still holds true now.

"Remember"


Remember that I am your God, your Father.
  Remember that once i deigned to draw you out of nothingness,
because of My Love for you and for My Glory.  Remember that I
am constantly renewing this creative act and that out of love
that I watch over you with a father's zeal and a mother's
tenderness.  Do you understand?...
   Remember that it is I who made you such as you are.  Be therefore
satisfied with the gifts you have received, be they great or small,
natural or supernatural.  Be grateful.  When you find fault
with some piece of work, you are really finding fault with the one
who made it.
   Remember that everything comes from Me, that everything lives by
Me, moves and acts through Me...I direct everything everywhere,
small happenings and important events, families and nations.
The whole world is spread before My eyes.  My thoughts and My love
encompass the immensity of it.  On this earth, huge as it is, I can
see you.  I can watch the movements of your heart, I can count your
acts of love and of generosity.  I am even now preparing your rewad.
Do you think of this often enough?
   Remember also that I endure you with patience when your will
weakens and turns towards created things...Be equally patient with
your own self and with your neighbor...Be long-suffering...Forgive, and
keep on forgiving...
   Remember that I made use of My Wisdom and My power to build up your
little world and to keep it intact.  Do you think ik it worthy of a
child of God to find fault, to criticize the march of events or the
conduct of persons and of things?  ...When you do this, you are 
blaming Me, finding fault with Me... Can you hear the flood of
murmurings that arose from the earth up to My throne??  Is that the
way to understand and to acknowledge a Father's goodness?...Refrain
from wasing your time and thus neglecting My Glory, wouding my
Heart and damning up the glow of My Love...
  Finally, remember My Son's example, His obedience, His ready
acceptance of My Will...Look upon Him...Call on Him...The least
sign of love on your part attracts Me...I shall descend upon
you and fill you with My light and My strength....Remember."

Rev. J. O. Lesieur, pss, Notre-Dame, W. Montreal
