It is better to pray with good will for our neighbor, rather than to denounce him for every sin.

Every sin that is left without repentance is a sin unto death, for which if even a saint shall pray, he shall not be heard.

Do not think about or do anything without a spiritual purpose, whereby it is done for God. For If you travel without purpose, you shall labor in vain.

In the spiritual life we can do nothing worthy without repentance, but the Lord has much mercy on us because of our intentions. He who compels himself and holds on to repentance until the end, even if he sins is saved because he compelled himself, for the Lord promised this in the Gospel.

Every affliction tests our will, showing whether it is inclined to good or evil. That is why an unforeseen affliction is called a test, because it enables a man to test his hidden desires.

Conquer temptations by the patience and prayer. If you oppose them without these, you will fall all the more severely.
