Humility is like a pair of scales: the lower one side falls, the higher rises the other. Let us humble ourselves like the Blessed Virgin and we shall be exalted.

A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind.

Prayer is the inner bath of love into which the soul plunges itself.

When our hands have touched spices, they give fragrance to all they handle. Let us make our prayers pass through the hands of the Blessed Virgin. She will make them fragrant.

The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.

If you find it impossible to pray, hide behind your good Angel and charge him to pray in your stead.

The sign of the cross is the most terrible weapon against the devil. Thus the Church wishes not only that we have it continually in front of our minds to recall to us just what our souls are worth and what they cost Jesus Christ, but also that we should make it at every juncture ourselves: when we go to bed, when we awaken during the night, when we get up, when we begin any action, and, above all, when we are tempted.
