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

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

If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven.

The saints had no hatred, no bitterness; they forgive everything and think they deserve much more for their offenses against God.

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.

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.

If you invoke the Blessed Virgin when you are tempted, she will come at once to your help, and Satan will leave you.
