'You told me, Father, that after my past life it is still possible to become another St. Augustine. I don't doubt it, and today more than yesterday I want to try to prove it.' But you have to cut out sin courageously from the root, as the holy Bishop of Hippo did.

To begin is for everyone. To persevere is for saints.

For everyone, whatever his state--single, married, widowed, or priest-chastity is a triumphant affirmation of love.

Holy Purity is granted by God when it is asked for with humility.

Faith, joy, optimism. But not the folly of closing your eyes to reality.

He has much who needs least. Do not create necessities for yourself.

All the things that are now worrying you can be put into a smile which shows your love of God.
