Many married women who have deliberately spurned the 'hour' of childbearing are unhappy and frustrated. They never discovered the joys of marriage because they refused to surrender to the obligation of their state. In saving themselves, they lost themselves!

Once you have surrendered yourself, you make yourself receptive. In receiving from God, you are perfected and completed.

The more He loved those for whom He was the ransom, the more His anguish would increase, as it is the faults of friends rather than enemies which most disturb hearts!
