If the work of our sanctification presents us with difficulties that appear insurmountable, it is because we do not look at it in the right way. In reality, holiness consists in one thing alone, namely, fidelity to God's plan. And this fidelity is equally within everyone's capacity in both its active and passive exercise.

All created things are living in the Hand of God. The senses see only the action of the creatures; but faith sees in everything the action of God.

The present moment is always full of infinite treasure. It contains far more than you can possibly grasp. Faith is the measure of its riches: what you find in the present moment is according to the measure of your faith. Love also is the measure: the more the heart loves, the more it rejoices in what God provides. The will of God presents itself at each moment like an immense ocean that the desire of your heart cannot empty; yet you will drink from that ocean according to your faith and love.

In the shadow of death he produces life, and though the senses are terrified, faith taking all for the best, is full of courage and assurance.

The soul, light as a feather, fluid as water, innocent as a child, responds to every movement of grace like a floating balloon.

The present moment holds infinite riches beyond your wildest dreams.

There is not a moment in which God does not present Himself under the cover of some pain to be endured, of some consolation to be enjoyed, or of some duty to be performed. All that takes place within us, around us, or through us, contains and conceals His divine action.
