To defend his purity, Saint Francis of Assisi rolled in the snow, Saint Benedict threw himself into a thorn bush, and Saint Bernard plunged into an icy pond... You - what have you done?

Don't judge without having heard both sides. Even persons who think themselves virtuous very easily forget this elementary rule of prudence.

You can be sure you are a man of God if you suffer injustice gladly and in silence.

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.

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

At the time of your examination(of sins) beware of the devil that ties your tongue.

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