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

O my Saviour, who am I, that Thou shouldst have so long awaited my repentance!

My greatest happiness is to be before the Blessed Sacrament, where my heart is, as it were, in Its center.

I think He intends to try you like gold in the crucible, so as to number you amongst His most faithful servants. Therefore you must lovingly embrace all occasions of suffering, considering them as precious tokens of His love. To suffer in silence and without complaint is what He asks of 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.

All for the Eucharist; nothing for me

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.
