Our merciful father has no pleasure in the sufferings of his children; he chastens them in love; he never inflicts a stroke he could safely spare; he inflicts it to purify as well as to punish, to caution as well as to cure, to improve as well as to chastise.

More From Hannah More

Ultimate peace begins within; when we find peace within there will be no more conflict, no more occasion for war. if this is the peace you seek, purify your body by sensible living habits, purify your mind by expelling all negative thoughts, purify your motives by casting out any ideas of greed or self-striving and by seeking to serve you fellow human beings, purify your desires by eliminating all wishes for material possessions or self-glorification and by desiring to know and do god's will for you. inspire others to do likewise.

Men impose deception on women and punish them for being deceived, force them down to the lowest level and punish them for falling so low, bind them in marriage and then chastise them with menial service for life, or insults, or blows.

To know the cross is not merely to know our own sufferings. for the cross is the sign of salvation, and no man is saved by his own sufferings. to know the cross is to know that we are saved by the sufferings of christ; more, it is to know the love of christ who underwent suffering and death in order to save us. it is, then, to know christ.
Wisdom Men Order
Now are the days, of humblest prayer, when consciences to god lie bare, and mercy most delights to spare. oh hearken when we cry. now is the season, wisely long, of sadder thought and graver song, when ailing souls grow well and strong. oh hearken when we cry. the feast of penance! oh so bright, with true conversion's heavenly light, like sunrise after stormy night! oh hearken when we cry. oh happy time of blessed tears, of surer hopes, of chast'ning fears, undoing all our evil years. oh hearken when we cry. chastise us with thy fear; yet, father! in the multitude of thy compassions, hear!
Song Strong Prayer
Caution is an important quality in a leader, but it has to be caution followed by decision. caution followed by ambivalence can be a weakness.
