Very few people believe in the devil these days, which suits the devil very well. He is always helping to circulate the news of his own death. The essence of God is existence, and He defines Himself as: 'I am Who am.' The essence of the devil is the lie, and he defines himself as: 'I am who am not.' Satan has very little trouble with those who do not believe in him; they are already on his side.

The mind has three operations: the formation of ideas, judgements and reasoning.

No man discovers anything big if he does not make himself small.

Before the sin, Satan assures us that it is of no consequence; after the sin, he persuades us that it is unforgivable.

The humble, simple souls, who are little enough to see the bigness of God in the littleness of a Babe, are therefore the only ones who will ever understand the reason of His visitation. He came to this poor earth of ours to carry on an exchange; to say to us, as only the Good God could say: 'you give me your humanity, and I will give you my Divinity; you give me your time, and I will give you My eternity; you give me your broken heart, and I will give you Love; you give me your nothingness, and I will give you My all.

You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.

Souls generally do not fall away from Christ because of the Creed; they first have difficulty with the Commandments.
