Nothing will make us so charitable and tender to the faults of others, as, by self-examination, thoroughly to know our own.

I am not in the least surprised that your impression of death becomes more lively, in proportion as age and infirmity bring it nearer. God makes use of this rough trial to undeceive us in respect to our courage, to make us feel our weakness, and to keep us in all humility in His hands.

Trouble and perplexity drive me to prayer, and prayer drives away perplexity and trouble.

Speak, move, act in peace, as if you were in prayer. In truth, this is prayer.

To just read the Bible, attend church, and avoid “big” sins-is this passionate, wholehearted love for God?

Above all, live in the present moment and God will give you all the grace you need.

A general rule for the good use of time is to accustom oneself to live in a continual dependence on the Spirit of God.
