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.

Speak to Him often of your business, your plans, your troubles, your fears - of everything that concerns you.

The sovereigns of the earth do not always grant audience readily; on the contrary, the King of Heaven, hidden under the eucharistic veils, is ready to receive anyone.

Let us read the lives of the saints; let us consider the penances which they performed, and blush to be so effeminate and so fearful of mortifying our flesh.

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

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

We must show charity towards the sick, who are in greater need of help. Let us take them some small gift if they are poor, or, at least let us go and wait on them and comfort them.
