Let us, at any rate, give heed to suffer joyfully the crosses that God sends us, because they all, if we are saved, will become for us eternal joys. When infirmities, pains, or any adversities afflict us, let us lift up our eyes to heaven and say, "One day all these pains will have an end, and after them I hope to enjoy God forever."

My Jesus! What a lovable contrivance this holy Sacrament was - that You would hide under the appearance of bread to make Yourself loved and to be available for a visit by anyone who desires You!

The definitions of the Church are the rules of true faith.

The brightest ornaments in the crown of the blessed in heaven are the sufferings which they have borne patiently on earth.

How, then, shall God give himself entirely to that one who, besides his God, loves creatures still?

After the love which we owe Jesus Christ, we must give the chief place in our heart to the love of His Mother Mary.

When we have to reply to anyone who has insulted us, we should be careful to do it always with gentleness. A soft answer extinguishes the fire of wrath.
