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.

There is no peace more wonderful than the peace we enjoy when faith shows us God in all created things.

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

The duties of each moment are the shadows beneath which hides the divine operation.

The books the Holy Spirit is writing are living, and every soul a volume in which the divine author makes a true revelation of his word, explaining it to every heart, unfolding it in every moment.

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.

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.
