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.

Your God is ever beside you - indeed, He is even within you.

There is no one, however wicked, whom Mary does not save by her intercession when she wishes ... He who has recourse to Mary shall be saved.

All souls in hell are there because they did not pray. All the saints sanctified themselves by prayer.

God is displeased at the diffidence of souls who love Him sincerely and whom He Himself loves.

Ask those who love Him with a sincere love, and they will tell you that they find no greater or prompter relief amid the troubles of their life than in loving conversation with their Divine Friend.

The past is no longer yours; the future is not yet in your power. You have only the present wherein to do good.
