Never listen to accounts of the frailty of others; and if anyone should complain to you of another, humbly ask him not to speak about him at all.

There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.

Do not let your "eye" be drawn by the false "beacon lamps" -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.

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

Obedience is a penance of reason, and, on that account, a sacrifice more acceptable than all corporal penances and mortifications.

Faith is the union of God and the soul.

Let my soul live as if separated from my body.
