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

Pure love ... knows that only one thing is needed to please God: to do even the smallest things out of great love - love, and always love.

Jesus, I trust in You.

Suffering is a great grace; through suffering the soul becomes like the Saviour; in suffering love becomes crystallised; the greater the suffering, the purer the love.

My daughter...why do you not tell me about everything that concerns you, even the smallest details? Tell Me about everything, and know that this will give Me great joy. I answered, But You know about everything, Lord." And Jesus replied to me, "Yes I do know; but you should not excuse yourself with the fact that I know, but with childlike simplicity talk to Me about everything, for my ears and heart are inclined towards you, and your words are dear to Me.

He who wants to learn true humility should reflect upon the Passion of Jesus. (267)

O You Who are hidden, body, soul and divinity, Under the fragile form of bread, You are my life from Whom springs an abundance of graces; And, for me, You surpass the delights of Heaven.
