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

Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens, and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him.

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.

There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.

The road is narrow. He who wishes to travel it more easily must cast off all things and use the cross as his cane. In other words, he must be truly resolved to suffer willingly for the love of God in all things.

The conditions of a solitary bird are five: The first, that it flies to the highest point; The Second, that it does not suffer for company, not even of its own kind; The Third, that it aims its beak to the skies; The Fourth, that it does not have a definite color; The Fifth, that it sings very softly.

Faith is the union of God and the soul.
