Let us begin in earnest to work out our salvation, for no one will do it for us, since even He Himself, Who made us without ourselves, will not save us without ourselves.

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

Do nothing through human respect and, when it assails you, say: I shall do neither more nor less for the eyes of creatures. O my God, since I wish to please Thee alone, it suffices that Thou seest me everywhere.

Until we have acquired genuine prayer, we are like people teaching children to begin to walk.

We must never be discouraged or give way to anxiety. . . but ever have recourse to the adorable Heart of Jesus.

All for the Eucharist; nothing for me

Keep your heart in peace and let nothing trouble you, not even your faults. You must humble yourself and amend them peacefully, without being discouraged or cast down, for God's dwelling is in peace.
