To withdraw from creatures and repose with Jesus in the Tabernacle is my delight; there I can hide myself and seek rest. There I find a life which I cannot describe, a joy which I cannot make others comprehend, a peace such as is found only under the hospitable roof of our best Friend.

If our church is not marked by caring for the poor, the oppressed, the hungry, we are guilty of heresy.

God will not be outdone in generosity.

A religious ought to dread more being afraid of poverty than experiencing it.

God freely created us so that we might know, love, and serve him in this life and be happy with him forever. God's purpose in creating us is to draw forth from us a response of love and service here on earth, so that we may attain our goal of everlasting happiness with him in heaven.

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

It is not the finest wood that feeds the fire of Divine love, but the wood of the Cross.
