To put into practice the teachings of our holy faith, it is not enough to convince ourselves that they are true; we must love them. Love united to faith makes us practice our religion.

Obedience to a confessor is the most acceptable offering which we can make to God, and the most secure way of doing the divine will.

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

In cold and heat, in rain and wind, the soul united to God says, "I want it to be warm, to be cold, windy, to rain, because God wills it."

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