He that rises after his falls, with confidence in God and profound humility of heart, will become, in God's hands, a proper instrument for the accomplishment of great things; but he who acts otherwise can never do any good.

Meditation on Jesus Christ crucified is a precious balm which sweetens all pains.

Let us throw ourselves into the ocean of His goodness, where every failing will be canceled and anxiety turned into love.

Let weak and frail man come here suppliantly to adore the Sacrament of Christ, not to discuss high things, or wish to penetrate difficulties, but to bow down to secret things in humble veneration, and to abandon God's mysteries to God, for Truth deceives no man-Almighty God can do all things. Amen.

Possess purity in an eminent degree, and jealously preserve this fragrant flower. I earnestly desire to see you shine by the brilliancy of this virtue; be like to angels, and omit no precaution to retain this treasure, which is so easily lost by imprudence.

The Cross is the way to Paradise, but only when it is borne willingly.

Make a bouquet of the sufferings of Jesus and carry it in the bosom of his soul.
