It is a great mistake, as we have already remarked, to be afraid of Him and to act in His presence like a timid and craven slave trembling with fright before his master.

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!

There is a practice that is most powerful in keeping us united with God. That practice is the constant recollection of His presence.

As all our wickedness consists in turning away from our Creator, so all our goodness consists in uniting ourselves with Him.

The sufferings endured for God are the greatest proof of our love for Him.

No, he can never be lost who recommends himself to thee, O Mary.

With such thoughts in your mind, now that you have resolved to love Him and please Him with all your strength, your only fear should be to fear God too much and to place too little confidence in Him.
