Both on Audio Sancto, apology for not having the URL, they're in the 2005 section. I saved these to burn on CD. I read about him in the 80's, why I forgot. I wish I still had the book but I didn't get to bring it with me when I moved. Kolbe pronounced Kol-bee, Raymond. I remember reading the biography I had about him.

On the 2nd mp3, toward the end, 10:17 into the audio all about Raymond. Those who love God are always happy.

I keep saying 'I give up' and I keep working on that, saying it less and less. Offer it up, cast my cares on the Lord.

"Take Christ's hand in one of yours and Mary's in the other. Now, even if you're in darkness you can go forward with the confidence of a child, a child guided by his parents."
Saint Maximilian Kolbe

Also;
153 One day, I saw two roads. One was broad, covered with sand and flowers, full of joy, music and all sorts of pleasures. People walked along it, dancing and enjoying themselves. They reached the end without realizing it. And at the end of the road there was a horrible precipice; that is, the abyss of hell. The souls fell blindly into it; as they walked, so they fell. And their number was so great that it was impossible to count them. And I saw the other road, or rather, a path, for it was narrow and strewn with thorns and rocks; and the people who walked along it had tears in their eyes, and all kinds of suffering befell them. Some fell down upon the rocks, but stood up immediately and went on. At the end of the road there was a magnificent garden filled with all sorts of happiness, and all these souls entered there. At the very first instant they forgot all their sufferings.

Just like Jesus said, thy will, not mine. I think of all the pagans, wiccans, etc that I know. I certainly didn't help anyone in my wandering days. I have to stop getting frustrated. I've been like a piece of finger jello scooting away each time. I need to keep praying for them.

I also think about that song, I think it was Rolling Stones, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you might get what you need." Doing that from memory at home so not sure if it's verbatim but that's the gist. I'm not the first to fight temptations and I probably do think too much. Keep pressing on and thank God for all things.
