Prayer Pleasure Ends

More From Francis Quarles

Jesus is the mediator of justice; mary obtains for us grace; for, as st. bernard, st. bonaventure, st. bernardine of siena, st. germanus, st. antoninus, and others say, it is the will of god to dispense through the hands of mary whatever graces he is pleased to bestow upon us. with god, the prayers of the saints are the prayers of his friends, but the prayers of mary are the prayers of his mother.
Mother Jesus Prayer
On the ground of our own goodness we cannot expect to have our prayers answered. but jesus is worthy, and for his sake we may have our prayers answered. there is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for god to give him. he is worthy. he is the spotless, holy child, who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of god. and if we trust in him, if we hide in him, if we put him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on him and plead his name, we may expect to have our prayers answered.
Jesus Prayer Children
It is pleasure that lurks in the practice of every one of your virtues. man performs actions because they are good for him, and when they are good for other people as well they are thought virtuous: if he finds pleasure in helping others he is benevolent; if he finds pleasure in working for society he is public-spirited; but it is for your private pleasure that you give twopence to a beggar as much as it is for my private pleasure that i drink another whiskey and soda. i, less of a humbug than you, neither applaud myself for my pleasure nor demand your admiration.
Helping Others Men Practice
Lenten practices of giving up pleasures are good reminders that the purpose of life is not pleasure. the purpose of life is to attain to perfect life, all truth and undying ecstatic love - which is the definition of god. in pursuing that goal we find happiness. pleasure is not the purpose of anything; pleasure is a by-product resulting from doing something that is good. one of the best ways to get happiness and pleasure out of life is to ask ourselves, 'how can i please god?' and, 'why am i not better?' it is the pleasure-seeker who is bored, for all pleasures diminish with repetition.
Giving Up Practice Perfect
Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. a wicked and evil man may have pleasure, while any ordinary mortal is capable of being happy. pleasure generally comes from things, and always through the senses; happiness comes from humans through fellowship. joy comes from loving god and neighbor. pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of god.

The end of 'the end' is the best place to begin 'the end', because if you read 'the end' from the beginning of the beginning of 'the end' to the end of the end of 'the end', you will arrive at the end.
