Occupy yourself in beholding and bewailing your own imperfections rather than contemplating the imperfections of others.

If you attach your heart to certain places and occupations, obedience oftentimes places you in some other place that you may not like; to be always cheerful, be always humble and obedient.

... 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.

Among the many signs of a lively faith and hope we have in eternal life, one of the surest is not being overly sad at the death of those whom we dearly love in our Lord.

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

Laugh and grow strong.

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