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.

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

He who is devout to the Virgin Mother will certainly never be lost.

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

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

In the case of those who are making progress from good to better, the good angel touches the soul gently, lightly, sweetly, as a drop of water enters a sponge, while the evil spirit touches it sharply, with noise and disturbance, like a drop of water falling on a rock.

Teach us to give and not to count the cost.
