However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
Without the Gospel everything is useless and vain.
God works in his elect in two ways: inwardly, by his Spirit; outwardly, by his Word.
Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the divine beneficence toward us.
No one will calmly and quietly submit to bear the cross except those who have learned to seek their happiness beyond this world.
Our true wisdom is to embrace with meek docility, and without reservation, whatever the holy scriptures have delivered.
