My little children, your hearts, are small, but prayer stretches them and makes them capable of loving God. Through prayer we receive a foretaste of heaven and something of paradise comes down upon us. Prayer never leaves us without sweetness. It is honey that flows into the souls and makes all things sweet. When we pray properly, sorrows disappear like snow before the sun.

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

Sin is the assassin of the soul.

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

When the heart is pure and simple it cannot help loving, because it has discovered the source of love which is God.

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.
