sembling Him.--BL. HENRY SUSO. 22 Remember that virtue is a very high and rugged mountain, difficult to ascend, and requiring much fatigue and exertion before we arrive at the summit to rest.--BL. HENRY SUSO. 23 Labor to conquer yourself. This victory will assure you a brighter crown in heaven than they gain whose disposition is more amiable.--ST. IGNATIUS. 24 We should not examine articles of faith with a curious and subtle spirit. It is sufficient for us to know that the Church proposes them. We can never be deceived in believing them.--ST.
