The greatness of our love of God must be tested by the desire we have of suffering for His love.

The perfection of a Christian consists in mortifying his will for the love of Christ. Where there is no great mortification, there is no great sanctity.

We must often remember what Christ said, that not he who begins, but he that perseveres to the end, shall be saved.

He who is unable to spend a long time together in prayer, should often lift up his mind to God by short prayers.

Cast yourself into the arms of God and be very sure that if he wants anything of you, He will fit you for the work and give you strength.

My Jesus, if you uphold me, I shall not fall.

The cross is the gift God gives to his friends.
