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?

You need a heart which is in love, not an easy life, to achieve happiness.

You go to pray; to become a bonfire, a living flame, giving light and heat.

An hour of study, for the modern apostle, is an hour of prayer.

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

Turn to Mary, tota pulchra, all pure and wonderful, and tell her: Our Lady and Mother, the Lord wanted you yourself to look after God and tend him with your own hands. Teach me, teach us all, how to treat your Son!

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