Just as the commander of an army pitches his camp, studies the strength and defenses of a fortress, and then attacks it on its weakest side, in like manner, the enemy of our human nature studies from all sides our theological, cardinal, and moral virtues. Wherever he finds us weakest and most in need regarding our eternal salvation, he attacks and tries to take us by storm.

God inclines to shower His graces upon us, but our perverted will is a barrier to His generosity.

Let us work as if success depended upon ourselves alone, but with heartfelt conviction that we are doing nothing, and God everything.

Whatever you are doing, that which makes you feel the most alive...that is where God is.

To have prevented one single sin is reward enough for the labors and efforts of a whole lifetime.

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.

So with that will prompt and prepared to serve all those whom I perceive to be servants of my Lord, I will speak of three things with simplicity and love as if I were speaking to my own soul.
