The spirit of humility is sweeter than honey, and those who nourish themselves with this honey produce sweet fruit.

O name of Mary! Joy in the heart, honey in the mouth, melody to the ear of Her devout clients!

Regret not that which is past; and trust not to thine own righteousness.

Attribute to God every good that you have received. If you take credit for something that does not belong to you, you will be guilty of theft.

The prayer of the monk is not perfect until he no longer recognizes himself or the fact that he is praying.

Learn to love humility, for it will cover all your sins. All sins are repulsive before God, but the most repulsive of all is pride of the heart. Do not consider yourself learned and wise; otherwise, all your efforts will be destroyed, and your boat will reach the harbor empty. If you have great authority, do not threaten anyone with death. Know that, according to nature, you too are susceptible to death, and that every soul sheds its body as its final garment.

Charity is the soul of faith, makes it alive; without love, faith dies.
