Reflections

(St. Francis de Sales)

1) Reflect for how many years you were not in the world, and you had no being. Where wert thou, O my soul, at that time? The world had existed so long, but thou wert unheard of.

2) God brought you out of nothing, and made you what you are out of His sole goodness, without requiring any assistance on your part.

3) Consider the being which God has given you, for it is the principal being in this visible world, capable of eternal life, and of perfect union with His Divine Majesty.
