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.

Spiritual infirmities such as tepidity are caused, not only by chills but also by fevers, that is, by excessive zeal.

Concerning the harsh treatment of the body for our Lord's sake, I would say, avoid anything that would cause the shedding even of a drop of blood.

Receive, Lord, all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will.

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

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

The glory of God is humankind fully alive.
