Romans,
Chapter 5, Verse 1-2
1 Therefore, since
we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2
through
whom we have gained access [by faith] to this grace in which we stand, and we
boast in hope of the glory of God.
Faith
triumphs in trouble. Christian life is a life that trusts in God’s love rather
than seeking to make ourselves clean as the Pharisees. We put
self-justification and self-righteousness in the background and know peace with
God for Christ has purchased our redemption with his blood. By our faith we
become citizens of the kingdom of heaven owing our true allegiance to Christ,
through His church whose head is the Pope. Although we are in the world we are
not of it. We are faithful citizens of our nation but God’s citizen first.

10. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you.”-James 4:7
"Read
these counsels slowly. Pause to meditate on these thoughts. They are things
that I whisper in your ear-confiding them-as a friend, as a brother, as a
father. And they are being heard by God. I won't tell you anything new. I will
only stir your memory, so that some thought will arise and strike you; and so
you will better your life and set out along ways of prayer and of Love. And in
the end you will be a more worthy soul."
55. Action is worth nothing without prayer: prayer grows in value with
sacrifice.
