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.

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.

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.

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

One just soul can attain pardon for a thousand sinners.

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