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

In prayer one must hold fast and never let go, because the one who gives up loses all. If it seems that no one is listening to you, then cry out even louder. If you are driven out of one door, go back in by the other.

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.

Follow your own way of speaking to our Lord sincerely, lovingly, confidently, and simply, as your heart dictates.

With God there is no need for long speeches.

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

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