Let the sick man enter into the Side of Jesus and His most holy Wounds; let him not be afraid, but combat manfully, and he will come forth victorious.

It is an old custom of the servants of God to have some little prayer ready and to be frequently darting them up to heaven during the day, lifting their minds to God out of the mire of this world.

In sickness we ought to ask God to give us patience, because it often happens, that when a man gets well, he not only does not do the good he proposed to do when he was sick, but he multiplies his sins and his ingratitude.

The cross is the gift God gives to his friends.

Let us be humble and keep ourselves down: - Obedience! Humility! Detachment!

Obedience is the true holocaust which we sacrifice to God on the altar of our hearts.

We must not trust in ourselves, but take the advice of our spiritual father, and recommend ourselves to everybodys prayers.
