>>1658742What is sad is that you seek pleasure in creatures, and not the Creator and as such your soul is inverted-----If a person at a ball or musical exhibition, were obliged to remain suspended by a cord with his head downwards, could he feel happy at the entertainment? Such is the state of a Christian in enmity with God: his soul is as it were turned upside down; instead of being united with God and detached from creatures, it is united with creatures and separated from God. But creatures, says St. Vincent Ferrer, are without, and do not enter to content the heart, which God alone can make happy.
In closing, I shall remind you of the word's of St. Augustine on your miserable state.
>I feel much more pity for one who delights in his wickedness than for one who counts himself unfortunate because he fails to obtain some harmful pleasure or suffers the loss of some miserable felicityI advise you pray to God for assistance. If marriage is to benefit you, He will will it.
