Just for Today, September 15

Drink of the chalice of thy Lord lovingly, if thou desirest to be His friend, and to have part with Him.
-Bk. II, ch. xii.

During her long agony which lasted twelve hours, she cried out: "O my God, O sweet Virgin Mary, come to my help! My chalice is overflowing; I could not have thought it possible to suffer so much...I can only explain it by my great longing to save souls. O my God, Thy will be done, only have pity on me!"
-The Story of a Soul (L'Histoire d'une Âme).
