The servants of Mary are as sure of getting to Paradise as though they were already there. Who are they who are saved and who reign in Heaven? Surely those for whom the Queen of Mercy intercedes ... The clients of Mary will necessarily be saved.

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

He who wishes to find Jesus should seek Him, not in the delights and pleasures of the world, but in mortification of the senses.

It would be the greatest delight of the seraphs to pile up sand on the seashore or to pull weeds in a garden for all eternity, if they found out such was God's will. Our Lord himself teaches us to ask to do the will of God on earth as the saints do it in heaven: "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

Not only is there no need of an intermediary through whom He would want you to speak to Him, but He finds His delight in having you treat with Him personally and in all confidence.

A soul who loves Jesus Christ desires to be treated the way Christ was treated-desires to be poor, despised and humiliated.
