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

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

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

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

I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the heart of God.

Do not distress yourself on account of any distaste or dryness you experience in God's service. He wills that you should serve Him fervently and constantly it is true, but without any other help than simple faith, and thus your love will be more disinterested, and your service the more pleasing to Him.

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.
