Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for the future.

It is only by fidelity in little things that the grace of true love to God can be sustained, and distinguished from a passing fervor of spirit. . . . No one can well believe that our piety is sincere, when our behavior is lax and irregular in its little details. What probability is there that we should not hesitate to make the greatest sacrifices, when we shrink from the smallest?

I no longer desire anything but to be Thine.

How does our will become sanctified? By conforming itself unreservedly to that of God.

As long as anything in this world means anything to you, your freedom is only a word. You are like a bird that is held by a leash; you can only fly so far.

So long as we are full of self we are shocked at the faults of others. Let us think often of our own sin, and we shall be lenient to the sins of others.

Faith is letting down our nets into the transparent deeps at the Divine command, not knowing what we shall draw.
