Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.

In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love; with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.

Be faithful in little things, for in them your strength lies. To the good God nothing is little, because He is so great and we are so small.

Holiness consists in doing God’s will joyfully. Faithfulness makes saints. The spiritual life is a union with Jesus: the divine and the human giving themselves to each other. The only thing Jesus asks of us is to give ourselves to him, in total poverty and total self-forgetfulness.

Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person of your sick, and, whilst nursing them, minister unto you. Though you hide yourself behind the unattractive disguise of the irritable, the exacting, the unreasonable, may I still recognize you, and say: "Jesus, my patient, how sweet it is to serve you.

We must pray to Jesus to give us that tenderness of the Eucharist.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
