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

Do not put off any longer confessing all your sins, for death will soon come. Give and it will be given you; forgive and you will be forgiven. . . Blessed are they who die repentant, for they shall go to the Kingdom of Heaven!

Do all you can to preach the gospel and if necessary use words!

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Dear God, please reveal to us your sublime beauty, that is everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, so that we will never again feel frightened.

A promise is a child of the understanding and the will; the understanding begets it, the will brings it forth.
