In sorrow and suffering, go straight to God with confidence, and you will be strengthened, enlightened and instructed.

My sole occupation is love.

However high be your endeavors, unless you renounce and subjugate your own will - unless you forget yourself and all that pertains to yourself - not one step will you advance on the road to perfection.

Though the path is plain and smooth for men of good will, he who walks it will not travel far, and will do so only with difficulty, if he does not have good feet: that is, courage and a persevering spirit.

In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human success, but rather on how much we have loved.

Now that I no longer desire all, I have it all without desire.

In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction.
