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

We adore Thee most holy Lord Jesus Christ, here in all Thy Churches, which are in the whole world, because by Thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world

Sanctify yourself and you will sanctify society.

Lord, help me to live this day, quietly, easily. To lean upon Thy great strength, trustfully, restfully. To wait for the unfolding of Thy will, patiently, serenely. To meet others, peacefully, joyously. To face tomorrow, confidently, courageously.

You should never praise anyone until you see how he turns out in the end!

The only thing ever achieved in life without effort is failure.

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.
