The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.

Our circumstances are the means God uses to exhibit just how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure His Son is.

Prayer is simple, as simple as a child making known its wants to it parents.

It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .

The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.

The nature of faith is that it must be tried.

If there were never any clouds (sorrows and sufferings) in our lives, we would have no faith. God does not come near us without clouds.
