Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience.

The determined fixing of our will upon God, and pressing toward him steadily and without deflection; this is the very center and the art of prayer.

Spiritual achievement costs much, though never as much as it is worth.

The will is what matters---as long as you have that, you are safe.

Spiritual reading is a regular, essential part of the life of prayer, and particularly is it the support of adoring prayer.

All things are perceived in the light of charity, and hence under the aspect of beauty; for beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love.

If we ask of the saints how they achieved spiritual effectiveness, they are only able to reply that, insofar as they did it themselves, they did it by love and prayer.
