Where there is no great mortification there is no great sanctity.
Heaven is not made for the slothful.
He who is unable to spend a long time together in prayer, should often lift up his mind to God by short prayers.
There is nothing the devil fears so much, or so much tries to hinder, as prayer.
Without mortification nothing can be done.
To preserve our cheerfulness amid sicknesses and troubles, is a sign of a right and good spirit.
