Beware of trying to accomplish anything by force.
Strive to be faithful to that which God has called you.
We must give alms. Charity wins souls and draws them to virtue.
You will accomplish more by kind words and a courteous manner than by anger or sharp rebuke, which should never be used except in necessity.
Consider that the devil doesn't sleep, but seeks our ruin in a thousand ways.
Do not lose heart, even if you should discover that you lack qualities necessary for the work to which you are called. He who called you will not desert you, but the moment you are in need he will stretch out his saving hand.
