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

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

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.

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

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.

A pure soul is like a fine pearl. As long as it is hidden in the shell, at the bottom of the sea, no one thinks of admiring it. But if you bring it into the sunshine, this pearl will shine and attract all eyes. Thus the pure soul, which is hidden from the eyes of the world, will one day shine before the Angels in the sunshine of eternity.
