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.

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

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

Woe to him who neglects to recommend himself to Mary, and thus closes the channel of grace!

Whoever prays is certainly saved. He who does not is certainly damned. All the blessed have been saved by prayer. All the damned have been lost through not praying. If they had prayed they would not have been lost. And this is, and will be their greatest torment in hell: to think how easily they might have been saved, just by asking God for His grace, but that now it is too late - their time of prayer is gone.

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

Our Faith will never be true unless it is united to that of St. Peter and the Pontiff, his successors.
