If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride, because it shows you trust in your own powers. Never bother about other people's opinions. Be humble and you will never be disturbed. Remember St. Aloysius, who said he would continue to play billiards even if he knew he was going to die. Do you play well? Sleep well? Eat well? These are duties. Nothing is small for God.

There is so much love in us all, but often we are too shy to express our love, and keep it bottled up inside us. We must learn to love, to love until it hurts, and we will know how to accept love.

There is a tremendous strength that is growing in the world through sharing together, praying together, suffering together, and working together.

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.

Somebody loves us, too - God Himself. We have been created to love and to be loved

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love through meditation, spirit of prayer, and sacrifice, by an intense inner life.
