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

All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.

One must wage war against his predominant passion and not retreat until, with God's help, he has been victorious.

If God gives you an abundant harvest of trials, it is a sign of great holiness which He desires you to attain. Do you want to become a great saint? Ask God to send you many sufferings. The flame of Divine Love never rises higher than when fed with the wood of the Cross, which the infinite charity of the Savior used to finish His sacrifice. All the pleasures of the world are nothing compared with the sweetness found in the gall and vinegar offered to Jesus Christ. That is, hard and painful things endured for Jesus Christ and with Jesus Christ.

Idleness is hells fishhook for catching souls.

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

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