Where most men work for degrees after their names, we work for one before our names: 'St.' It's a much more difficult degree to attain. It takes a lifetime, and you don't get your diploma until you're dead.

God wants you to be in the world, but so different from the world that you will change it. Get cracking.

Everything starts with one person... I don't care if you're 5 or 105, God from all eternity chose you to be where you are, at this time in history, to change the world.

We are all called to be great saints, don't miss the opportunity.

Only in eternity shall we see the beauty of the soul, and only then shall we realize what great things were accomplished by interior suffering.

God is not a slot machine. We don't go to God to get something; we go to give something.

I guess that is what dying must be like; to be finished and to be able to look back at the struggles of life, and know that God was your constant companion.
