For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.

Sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants for me is only my deepest happiness.

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

He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself, or he loses his labor.

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

Pardon me, O perfections of my God, for having preferred imperfect and evil inclinations to Thee! Pardon me, O justice of my God, for having outraged Thee by my sins. Pardon me, O holiness of my God, for having so long stained Thy sight's purity by my sins. Pardon me, O mercy of my God, for having despised so long Thy mercy's voice. In deep sorrow and contrition, I cast myself at Thy feet: Have mercy on me.

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