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

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

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.

All that we do without offering it to God is wasted.

We ought to run after crosses as the miser runs after money. . . Nothing but crosses will reassure us at the Day of Judgment When that day shall come, we shall be happy in our misfortunes, proud of our humiliations, and rich in our sacrifices!

To serve the Queen of Heaven is already to reign there, and to live under her commands is more than to govern.

How happy is that guardian angel who accompanies a soul to Holy Mass!
