Yearning: It needs to hurt in order to be worthy of the word. Otherwise it is just wanting.

God leads every soul by a separate path.

Live in faith and hope, though it be in darkness, for in this darkness God protects the soul. Cast your care upon God for you are His and He will not forget you. Do not think that He is leaving you alone, for that would be to wrong Him.

At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.

He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again.

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

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.
