God made the world for the delight of human beings.

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.

Stay very close to Our Lady. If you do this, you can do great things for God and the good of people.

The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small.

God speaks in the silence of the heart.

Make sure that you let God's grace work in your souls by accepting whatever He gives you, and giving Him whatever He takes from you. True holiness consists in doing God's work with a smile.
