It is attachment to creatures and to self-satisfaction that weakens the blessings of love in your heart. You must die to all that, if you wish the pure love of God to reign therein.

We must submit to the Will of God and kiss the hand that strikes us, for we know it is better to suffer in this life than in the next, since one moment of suffering willingly accepted for the love God, is worth an eternity of happiness.

The cross is a precious treasure to be kept secret, lest we be robbed of it.

Since God wishes it - there is nothing to be done. . . Why should you thus torment yourself? Get rid of whatever He shows you to be an obstacle to His love, for His only desire is that you should live stripped of all that is not Himself.

Crosses, contempt, sorrows and afflictions are the real treasures of the lovers of Jesus Christ crucified

Go courageously to God, along the way He has traced out for you, steadfastly embracing the means He offers you.

All for the Eucharist; nothing for me
