May the perfect grace and eternal love of Christ our Lord be our never-failing protection and help.

He who carries God in his heart bears Heaven with him wherever he goes.

God our Lord would have us look to the Giver and love Him more than His gift, keeping Him always before our eyes, in our hearts, and in our thoughts.

The principal end both of my father and of myself in the conquest of India... has been the propagation of the holy Catholic faith.

God freely created us so that we might know, love, and serve him in this life and be happy with him forever. God's purpose in creating us is to draw forth from us a response of love and service here on earth, so that we may attain our goal of everlasting happiness with him in heaven.

He who is not getting better is getting worse.

Concerning the harsh treatment of the body for our Lord's sake, I would say, avoid anything that would cause the shedding even of a drop of blood.
