When I cannot enjoy the faith of assurance, I live by the faith of adherence.

To wait on God is to live a life of desire toward Him, delight in Him, dependence on Him, and devotedness to Him.

The riches we impart are the only wealth we shall always retain.

...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.

It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church.

Prayer is a salve for every sore, a remedy for every malady; and when we are afflicted with thorns in the flesh, we should give ourselves to prayer. If an answer be not given to the first prayer, nor to the second, we are to continue praying. Troubles are sent to teach us to pray; and are continued, to teach us to continue instant in prayer.

Nature is content with little; grace with less; but lust with nothing.
