INDIA'S WOMEN. VOL. III. JANUARY FEBRUARY. No. XIII. 'New Year's Motto.' 'That we should be to the praise of His glory.'-EPH. I. 12. Communion. My Sheep hear My voice.'-JOHN X. 27. Behold, now I have taken it upon me to speak unto the Lord.'-GENESIS XVIII. 27. Y child, it is not necessary to know much to please Me; it is sufficient to love much. Speak to Me as thou wouldst to a mother, if she drew thee near to her. Are there any for whom thou wouldst pray to Me? Repeat to Me the names of thy relations, thy friends; after each name add what thou wouldst have Me do for them. Ask much, ask much. I love generous souls, who forget themselves for others. Tell Me of the poor whom thou wouldst relieve, the sick whom thou hast seen suffer, the sinners thou wouldst have converted, those who are alienated from thee whose affection thou wouldst regain. For all say a fervent prayer. Remember that I have promised to hear all prayer from the heart; and is not that a prayer from the heart which is offered for those we love and who love us? Are there graces thou wouldst ask for thyself? Write, if thou wilt, a long list of all thou desirest, of all the needs of thy soul, and come and read it to Me. VOL. III. A |
