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

The world is a great stage on which God displays his many wonders.

Where there is discord may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. Where there is despair, may we bring hope.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

Don't canonize me too soon. I'm perfectly capable of fathering a child.

By the anxieties and worries of this life Satan tries to dull man's heart and make a dwelling for himself there.

...In this world I cannot see the Most High Son of God with my own eyes, except for His Most Holy Body and Blood.
