If, one day, I should offend God in any way, or grow remiss, though ever so little, in that which concerns His holy service and glory, I solemnly implore Him, rather let me die.

God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will, and to do it fully.

Above all, remember that God looks for solid virtues in us, such as patience, humility, obedience, abnegation of your own will - that is, the good will to serve Him and our neighbor in Him. His providence allows us other devotions only insofar as He sees that they are useful to us.

Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost.

If our church is not marked by caring for the poor, the oppressed, the hungry, we are guilty of heresy.

Discouragement is not from God.

For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
