The way to Heaven is straight and narrow: they who wish to arrive at that place of bliss by walking in the paths of pleasure shall be disappointed; and therefore few reach it, because few are willing to use violence to themselves in resisting temptations.

The principal means of acquiring an ardent love of Christ are mental prayer, Communion, mortification, retirement.

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 practice modesty, not only in our looks, but also in our whole deportment, and particularly in our dress, our walk, our conversation, and all similar actions.

If we should be saved and become saints, we ought always to stand at the gates of the Divine mercy to beg and pray for, as an alms, all that we need.

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.

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