Laugh and grow strong.

We must speak to God as a friend speaks to his friend, servant to his master; now asking some favor, now acknowledging our faults, and communicating to Him all that concerns us, our thoughts, our fears, our projects, our desires, and in all things seeking His counsel.

Considering that the blessed life we so long for consists in an intimate and true love of God Our Creator and Lord, which binds and obliges us all to a sincere love.

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

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

Remember that bodily exercise, when it is well ordered, as I have said, is also prayer by means of which you can please God our Lord.

If one fears men much he will never do anything great for God: all that one does for God arouses persecution.
