It is always springtime in the heart that loves God.

Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.

On this path, it is only the first step that counts.

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

It is always springtime in the heart that loves God.

On the Way of the Cross, you see, my children, only the first step is painful. Our greatest cross is the fear of crosses. . . We have not the courage to carry our cross, and we are very much mistaken; for, whatever we do, the cross holds us tight - we cannot escape from it. What, then, have we to lose? Why not love our crosses, and make use of them to take us to heaven?

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