We should seek not so much to pray but to become prayer.

Spiritual joy arises from purity of the heart and perseverance in prayer.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.

The greatest security we can have in this world that we are in the grace of God, does not consist in the feelings that we have of love to Him, but rather in an irrevocable abandonment of our whole being into His hands, and in a firm resolution never to consent to any sin great or small.

Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty.

When I think of the happiness that is in store for me, every sorrow, every pain becomes dear to me.

If we endure all things patiently and with gladness, thinking on the sufferings of our Blessed Lord, and bearing all for the love of Him: herein is perfect joy.
