God our Lord would have us look to the Giver and love Him more than His gift, keeping Him always before our eyes, in our hearts, and in our thoughts.

It is one thing to be eloquent and charming in profane speech, and another when the one speaking as a religious.

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

He who has heard the Word of God can bear his silences.

He who carries God in his heart bears Heaven with him wherever he goes.

Occupy yourself in beholding and bewailing your own imperfections rather than contemplating the imperfections of others.

Pray as if God will take care of all; act as if all is up to you.
