The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness.

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

The servant of God earns half a doctorate through illness

What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.

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

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.

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