When we receive Holy Communion, we experience something extraordinary - a joy, a fragrance, a well-being that thrills the whole body and causes it to exalt.

Shall we all be saved? Shall we go to Heaven? Alas, my children, we do not know at all! But I tremble when I see so many souls lost these days. See, they fall into Hell as leaves fall from the trees at the approach of winter.

You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to God.

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

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

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.

Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public.
