God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will, and to do it fully.

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

God inclines to shower His graces upon us, but our perverted will is a barrier to His generosity.

Stand firm and immovable as an anvil when it is beaten upon.

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

... we ought even to hold as a fixed principle that what I see white I believe to be black, if the superior authorities define it to be so.

Just as the commander of an army pitches his camp, studies the strength and defenses of a fortress, and then attacks it on its weakest side, in like manner, the enemy of our human nature studies from all sides our theological, cardinal, and moral virtues. Wherever he finds us weakest and most in need regarding our eternal salvation, he attacks and tries to take us by storm.
