Suffering borne in the will quietly and patiently is a continual, very powerful prayer before God.

With God there is no need for long speeches.

Cordial love of the neighbor does not consist in feelings. This love flows not from a heart of flesh but from the heart of our will.

we must be as satisfied to be powerless, idle and still before God, and dried up and barren when He permits it, as to be full of life, enjoying His presence with ease and devotion. The whole matter of our union with God consists in being content either way.

Hold your eyes on God and leave the doing to him. That is all the doing you have to worry about.

Hell is full of the talented, but Heaven of the energetic.

There is no danger if our prayer is without words or reflection because the good success of prayer depends neither on words nor on study. It depends upon the simple raising of our minds to God, and the more simple and stripped of feeling it is, the surer it is.
