Love endures everything, love is stronger than death, love fears nothing.

O, my Jesus, I understand well that, just as illness is measured with a thermometer and a high fever tells us of the seriousness of the illness; so also, in the spiritual life, suffering is the thermometer which measures the love of God in a soul.

A disobedient soul will win no victory, even if the Lord Jesus himself, in person, were to hear its confession.

God is very generous and does not deny His grace to anyone. Indeed he gives more than what we ask of Him. Faithfulness to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit-that is the shortest route.

I know well that the greater and more beautiful the work is, the more terrible will be the storms that rage against it.

Oh, how great is the goodness of God, greater than we can understand. There are moments and there are mysteries of the divine mercy over which the heavens are astounded. Let our judgment of souls cease, for God's mercy upon them is extraordinary.

Suffering is the greatest treasure on earth; it purifies the soul. In suffering, we learn who our true friend is.
