But, Lord, why? why this excess?
"I love them, I behold them, I am waiting for them. I am going to them. My delights are to be with the miserable." And yet, they court pleasure, ambition, friends, occupations, everything before Our Lord. He is the last of all. Let Him come as Viaticum if they have the time for Him. Is not that enough? O Lord, why come to them who do not wish Thee? Why dost Thou insist on abiding with them who repulse Thee?
