The heroic minute.- It is the time fixed for getting up.- Without hesitation: a supernatural reflection and.-.-.- up! The heroic minute: here you have a mortification that strengthens your will and does no harm to your body.

Love our Lady. And she will obtain abundant grace to help you conquer in your daily struggle.

Christian optimism is not a sugary optimism, nor is it a mere human confidence that everything will turn out all right. It is an optimism that sinks its roots into an awareness of our freedom, and the sure knowledge of the power of grace. It is an optimism that leads us to make demands on ourselves, to struggle to respond at every moment to God's call.

When you decide firmly to lead a clean life, chastity will not be a burden on you: it will be a crown of triumph.

You're bored? That's because you keep your senses awake and your soul asleep.
