The Gospel which we possess was not given to us only to be admired, talked of, and professed - but to be practiced.

Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.

Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.

Amidst the flood of dangerous reading, I plead for my Master's book; I call upon you not to forget the book of the soul. Do not let newspapers, novels, and romances be read, while the prophets and Apostles be despised. Do not let the exciting and sensual swallow up your attention, while the edifying and the sanctifying can find no place in your mind.

The Word of God is ROCK. All else is sand.

Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.

Better to confess Christ 1000 times now and be despised by men, than be disowned by Christ before God on the day of Judgment.
