The glory of God is humankind fully alive.

May God our Lord never let me harm anyone when I cannot help him!

Teach us to give and not to count the cost.

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

Spiritual infirmities such as tepidity are caused, not only by chills but also by fevers, that is, by excessive zeal.

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.

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.
