Laugh and grow strong.

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

Stand firm and immovable as an anvil when it is beaten upon.

A religious ought to dread more being afraid of poverty than experiencing it.

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

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

Remember that the good angels do what they can to preserve men from sin and obtain God's honor. But they do not lose courage when men fail.
