The proud think that their opinion alone is right. They cannot see the good points of others, as the humble do, and appreciate their opinions. That is why there is such disagreement, strife and quarrelling and even irrreconciliation in families and in other groups.

Only good things come from God's hands. He never gives you more than you can bear. Every burden prepares you for eternity.

Prayer means talking over with Jesus everything that happens from morning until night.

Only if divine love burns in your heart can you awaken in a state of readiness, shaking off the paralyzing sleep that will overcome all humanity, believers and nonbelievers alike.

The angels of God are bright and shining beings, emanating light and mirroring the glory of God.

Do not lose yourself in your everyday work and activities. Rather, lose yourself in God. When you are doing work, let your innermost heart be centered on Him. Live in His presence and abide in Him. Then your work will follow you into eternity, and you will reap a rich harvest.

Every burden prepares you for eternity.
