God desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.

The purest suffering bears and carries in its train the purest understanding.

Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent.

All the powers of soul and body,memory, understanding, and will, interior and exterior senses, thedesires of spirit and of sense, all workin and by 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 virtuous soul that is alone and without a master is like a long lone burning coal; it will grow colder rather than hotter.

My sole occupation is love.
