The greater our dread of crosses, the more necessary they are for us.

Should we feel at times disheartened and discouraged, a simple movement of heart toward God will renew our powers. Whatever he may demand of us, he will give us at the moment the strength and courage that we need.

God, who is liberal in all his other gifts, shows us, by the wise economy of His providence, how circumspect we ought to be in the management of our time, for He never gives us two moments together.

Were in prayer, as indeed you ought to be.

The greater our dread of crosses, the more necessary they are for us.

We must truly serve those whom we appear to command; we must bear with their imperfections, correct them with gentleness and patience, and lead them in the way to heaven.

Listen less to your own thoughts and more to God's thoughts.
