O Blessed Mary, whoever loves you honors God; whoever serves you pleases God; whoever invokes your holy name with a pure heart will infallibly receive the object of his petition.

How beautiful then is modesty and what a gem among virtues it is.

And truly, O man, if you concentrate hard on the state you are in it will be surprising if you have time for anything else.

What does God hate or punish except self-will? Let self-will cease, and there will be no hell. On what does that fire feed except on self-will?

God will become visible as God's image is reborn in you.

True penance consists in regretting without ceasing the faults of the past, and in firmly resolving to never again commit that which is so deplorable.

We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us.
