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.

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

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

Understand this well: there is something holy, something divine hidden in the most ordinary situations, and it is up to each one of you to discover it.

May I give you some advice for you to put into practice daily? When your heart makes you feel those low cravings, say slowly to the Immaculate Virgin: Look on me with compassion. Don't abandon me. Don't abandon me, my Mother! - And recommend this prayer to others.

So your strength is failing you? Why don't you tell your mother about it? ... Mother! Call her with a loud voice. She is listening to you; she sees you in danger, perhaps, and she-your holy mother Mary-offers you, along with the grace of her son, the refuge of her arms, the tenderness of her embrace ... and you will find yourself with added strength for the new battle.

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