St. Ignatius frequently said to a novice who was of an extremely vivacious and fiery temperament: "My son, conquer yourself, and you will have in Heaven a crown more splendid than many others who are more meek of character."
The text of posts up to and including August 12th, 2008 is taken from Rejoice in the Lord , by Fr. F.X. Lasance, published in 1920 by Benziger Bros. To the best of my knowledge, this text is in the public domain in the U.S., Canada, and all jurisdictions where the rule of the shorter term applies.
Later posts are from the sources cited in them -- or, if there is no source cited, from my own thoughts, such as they are.
