The Lord is more anxious to forgive our sins than a woman is to carry her baby out of a burning building.

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

How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross!

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.

Only after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest; from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.

When we have been to Holy Communion, the balm of love envelops the soul as the flower envelops the bee.

The Devil writes down our sins - our Guardian Angel all our merits. Labor that the Guardian Angel's book may be full, and the Devil's empty.
