msg[1] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Happiness</p><p class=\"quote\">Happiness in this world consists in the hopes we foster. Hope is the very soul of happiness on this side of heaven.</p>";
msg[2] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Worry</p><p class=\"quote\">Shake off excessive worry and exercise a little confidence in God's merciful Providence.</p>";
msg[3] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Humility</p><p class=\"quote\">If you can honestly humble yourself, your victory will be certain. We do God's will best when we obey, and crucify self-will each day.</p>";
msg[4] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Self-Confidence</p><p class=\"quote\">The weakness we experience are naturally providential guards against one of the very greatest dangers to genius ... the Big Head.</p>";
msg[5] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Devotion to Mary</p><p class=\"quote\">Our Blessed Mother is always coaching poor sinners on the one hand to confidence and penance, and on the other, coaching Jesus our Lord to have mercy and to spare us. Learn to know Mary that you may love heaven and heavenly things.</p>";
msg[6] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Our Place in God's Plan</p><p class=\"quote\">In His divine economy, God has honored creatures-most especially rational ones-by giving them, all of them, according to their ability, a part of His own work to do by participation in His own divine activity…Our lives are blended with God's.</p>";
msg[7] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Our Place in God's Plan</p><p class=\"quote\">In His divine economy, God has honored creatures-most especially rational ones-by giving them, all of them, according to their ability, a part of His own work to do by participation in His own divine activity…Our lives are blended with God's.</p>";
msg[8] = "<p class=\"subject\">On our Neighbors</p><p class=\"quote\">It is really a privilege to help one another and to save our neighbors a step, whoever they may be. Since we have nothing of our own, what we do is sure to come back to us again.</p>";
msg[9] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Religion</p><p class=\"quote\">Religion involves our relationship to and happy dependence upon God and neighbor. </p>";
msg[10] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Our Responsibility to Others</p><p class=\"quote\">I have two loves: the sick and the poor….How merciful is the Good God in making is dependent on one another. If we are interested in saving our souls, we must also have an interest in our sisters and brothers.</p>";
msg[11] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Justice</p><p class=\"quote\">Disregard for the claims of justice, under whatever pretext, has always been a manifestation, to say the very least, of shallow thinking, or rather a betrayal of real thinking. Only lovers of justice and truth can possess the Kingdom of Heaven, and to be children of God we must be lovers of justice, truth and peace.</p>";
msg[12] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Our Role in God's Plan</p><p class=\"quote\">Who can fully appreciate the privilege that God has given us of the possibility of our helping God in the work of Redemption. Our lives are blended with God's.</p>";
msg[13] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Love of Others</p><p class=\"quote\">What a marvelously different society we'd have here, and what an ideal world to live in, if we'd all keep in mind the assurance of Jesus: \"What you have done to the least of my brethren you have done to me.\"</p>";
msg[14] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Prayer</p><p class=\"quote\">Confidence in God is the very soul of prayer. Let us pray to be guided according to God's Holy Will at all times and in everything, meritoriously resigned to the same.</p>";
msg[15] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Thanking God</p><p class=\"quote\">Let us thank God ahead of time for whatever He foresees is pleasing to Him, leaving everything at His divine disposal, including, with all its circumstances, when, where, and how He may be pleased to dispose the events of our death.</p>";
msg[16] = "<p class=\"subject\"><b>On God's Gifts</b></p><p class=\"quote\">Creation is God's greatest gift to humanity. God's greatest gift to humanity, after creation, was redemption. The Incarnation of the Son of God was the actual beginning of that redemption.</p>";
msg[17] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Troubles in the Church</p><p class=\"quote\">God could have founded the Church and left it under the supervision of angels that have no human faults and weaknesses. But who can doubt that as it stands today, consisting of, and under, poor sinners-successors of ignorant fishermen- that the Church is a more outstanding miracle than in any other way.</p>";
msg[18] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Being a Capuchin</p><p class=\"quote\">Worldly people, seeing us deprived of everything, would say: \"Crazy monk. Silly Capuchin.\"  But eternity will proclaim the truth: \"We do God's Will best when we obey and crucify self-will each day.\"</p>";
msg[19] = "<p class=\"subject\">On God's Plan for Us</p><p class=\"quote\">God condescends to use our powers if we don't spoil His plans with ours. Man's greatness lies in being faithful to the present moment. We must be faithful to the present moment, or we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives.</p>";
msg[20] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Marriage</p><p class=\"quote\">Those who embrace marriage should do so determined to bear the burdens of the holy state they enter. They should remember that their duties and privileges are one and the same and must be taken as such if peace is to reign in the individual soul, in the family, and in human society.</p>";
msg[21] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Troubles in the World</p><p class=\"quote\">These days are at once so restless and so foreboding in the materialistic world. Yet by the grace of God they are so colorful and so promising.</p>";
msg[22] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Knowing God</p><p class=\"quote\">To know is to appreciate. God Himself can be appreciated-and loved-only inasmuch as He is known. To know and to appreciate is to advance in sanctity.</p>";
msg[23] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Being Content</p><p class=\"quote\">We are never justified in being bitter toward anyone, except ourselves. In very deed, if we were only one-tenth as appreciative as we have every reason to be, our gratitude for what God has done for us - directly and through His creatures, most especially through our immediate superiors-would be such that we would be perfectly content with what we are and what we have.</p>";
msg[24] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Bearing Burdens</p><p class=\"quote\">In the crosses of life that come to us, Jesus offers us opportunities to help Him redeem the world. Let us profit by His generosity. If we only try to show the dear Lord good will and ask him for resignation to the crosses he sends or permits to come our way, we may be sure that sooner or later they will turn out to have been just so many blessings in disguise.</p>";
msg[25] = "<p class=\"subject\">On the Eucharist</p><p class=\"quote\">How often I regret that daily Holy Communion was not recommended when we were young. I feel now that we missed so much that would have strengthened us against the dangers and temptations of youth.</p>";
msg[26] = "<p class=\"subject\">On God's Grace</p><p class=\"quote\">Were we only to correspond to God's graces, continually being showered down on everyone of us, we would be able to pass from being great sinners one day to being great saints the next. We are continually immersed in God's merciful grace, like the air that permeates us.</p>";
msg[27] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Gratitude</p><p class=\"quote\">Gratitude is the first sign of a thinking, rational creature. Be sure, if the enemy of our soul is please at anything in us, it is ingratitude of whatever kind. Why? Ingratitude leads us to so many breaks with God and our neighbor.</p>";
msg[28] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Holiness</p><p class=\"quote\">As manifested in the lives of the saints, if we strive and use the means except ourselves. In very deed, if we were only one-tenth as appreciative as we have every reason to be, our gratitude for what God has done for us-directly and through His creatures, most especially through our immediate superiors-would be such that we would be perfectly content with what we are and what we have.</p>";
msg[29] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Happiness</p><p class=\"quote\">Happiness in this world consists in the hopes we foster. Hope is the very soul of happiness on this side of heaven.</p>";
msg[30] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Worry</p><p class=\"quote\">Shake off excessive worry and exercise a little confidence in God's merciful Providence.</p>";
msg[31] = "<p class=\"subject\">On Humility</p><p class=\"quote\">If you can honestly humble yourself, your victory will be certain. We do God's will best when we obey, and crucify self-will each day.</p>";
