He who is devout to the Virgin Mother will certainly never be lost.

May it please Christ our Lord to grant us true humility and abnegation of will and judgment, so that we may deserve to begin to be His disciples.

Among the many signs of a lively faith and hope we have in eternal life, one of the surest is not being overly sad at the death of those whom we dearly love in our Lord.

It is not the finest wood that feeds the fire of Divine love, but the wood of the Cross.

The more completely we focus our attention on our Creator and Lord, the less chance there is of our being distracted by creatures.

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

As for joy, as little as one can have of it in this life, experience shows that it is not the idle who possess it, but those who are zealous in the service of God.
