If you're not a thorn in somebody's side, you aren't doing Christianity right.

God does awesome things with us.

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.

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.

If you want to be holy, if you seek meaning in your life, start looking into your own life and attacking your pride in all of its many forms. God will give you extraordinary light and the ultimate reward of holiness. For your holiness relies not on what you do, but on what you allow God to do through you. Have courage. God will perfect you.

God keeps the entire Universe in order, and still finds time to take a personal interest in you and me.

If you're not a thorn in somebody's side, you aren't doing Christianity right.
