Put your heart aside. Duty comes first. But when fulfilling your duty, put your heart into it. It helps.

Don't say, "That person bothers me." Think: "That person sanctifies me".

When you see the storm coming, if you seek safety in that firm refuge which is Mary, there will be no danger of your wavering or going down.

You strayed from the way and did not return because you were ashamed. It would be more logical if you were ashamed not to return.
