While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

What do you have to fear? Nothing. Whom do you have to fear? No one. Why? Because whoever has joined forces with God obtains three great privileges: omnipotence without power, intoxication without wine, and life without death.

Let us also love our neighbors as ourselves. Let us have charity and humility. Let us give alms because these cleanse our souls from the stains of sin. Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.

Alms are an inheritance and a justice which is due to the poor and which Jesus has levied upon us.

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

Make me an instrument of thy peace.

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