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

As for joy, as little as one can have of it in this life, experience shows that it is not the idle who possess it, but those who are zealous in the service of God.

Whatever you are doing, that which makes you feel the most alive...that is where God is.

If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He certainly intends to make you a saint.

We must put aside all judgment of our own, and keep the mind ever ready and prompt to obey in all things the true Spouse of Christ our Lord, our holy Mother, the hierarchical Church.

If anyone asks you for something that you believe would be injurious to him, refuse, but in such a manner as not to lose his good-will.

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