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

Look upon yourself as a tree planted beside the water, which bears its fruit in due season; the more it is shaken by the wind, the deeper it strikes its roots into the ground.

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.

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

May faith be the torch which illuminates, animates, and sustains you.

But above all preserve peace of heart. This is more valuable than any treasure.

Are you making no progress in prayer? Then you need only offer God the prayers which the Savior has poured out for us in the sacrament of the altar. Offer God His fervent love in reparation for your sluggishness.
