Prayer Book
Happiness
in Goodness
Reflections, Counsels, Prayers and Devotions
By Rev. F. X. Lasance
Nihil Obstat, Imprimatur, New York, 19 September 1908
The
following Reflection is found in this little treasured
book.
Character
Character
is the product of daily, hourly actions, and words, and
thoughts; daily kindnesses, sacrifices for the good of
others, struggles against temptation, submissiveness under
trial. Oh! It is these, like the blending colours in a
picture, or the blending notes of music, which constitute
the man.
Saints are men of character. A man has character, when
he is conscientious; when he is not moved by every passing
impulse or feeling but by a fixed will to do always what
is right and good; when he does not go where it is easiest
to go, but where it is his duty to go; when he controls
his passions; when he has the moral courage to stand up
for his religious convictions.
make us neither better nor happier, and we shall receive
no reward for them.” Cultivate a cheerful temper.
Says the Wise Man in the Book of Proverbs: “A joyful
mind maketh age flourishing: a sorrowful spirit drieth
up the bones” (Prov. xvii.22). Look at the bright
side of things.
“Two
men looked out through their prison bars; The one saw
mud, and the other stars.”

Saint
of the Day
10th
September: ST. NICHOLAS OF TOLENTINO.
BORN
in answer to the prayer of a holy mother, and vowed before
his birth to the service of God, Nicholas never lost his
baptismal innocence. His austerities were conspicuous
even in the austere Order—the Hermits of St. Augustine—to
which he belonged, and to the remonstrances which were
made by his superiors he only replied, "How can I
be said to fast, while every morning at the altar I receive
my God?" He conceived an ardent charity for the Holy
Souls, so near and yet so far from their Saviour; and
often after his Mass it was revealed to him that the souls
for whom he had offered the Holy Sacrifice had been admitted
to the presence of God. Amidst his loving labors for God
and man, he was haunted by fear of his own sinfulness.
"The heavens," said he, "are not pure in
the sight of Him Whom I serve; how then shall I, a sinful
man, stand before Him?" As he pondered on these things,
Mary, the Queen of all Saints, appeared before him. "Fear
not, Nicholas," she said, "all is well with
you: my Son bears you in His Heart, and I am your protection."
Then his soul was at rest; and he heard, we are told,
the songs which the angels sing in the presence of their
Lord. He died September 10, 1310.
Reflection.
- Would you die the death of the just? there is only one
way to secure the fulfilment of your wish. Live the life
of the just. For it is impossible that one who has been
faithful to God in life should make a bad or an unhappy
end.
