The sign of sincere love is to forgive wrongs done to us. It was with such love that the Lord loved the world.

A man who is enticed by sinful thoughts is blinded by them, and he sees the action of sin in himself, but he can not see the cause of this action.

He who seeks forgiveness of his sins loves humility, but if he condemns another he seals his own wickedness.

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.

We cannot with all our heart forgive someone who does us wrong unless we possess real knowledge. For this knowledge shows us that we deserve all we experience.

Whoever with fear of God corrects and directs a sinner gains virtue for himself, that of opposition to sin. But whoever insults a sinner with rancor and without good will falls, according to a spiritual law, into the same passion with the sinner.

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