The greatness of our love of God must be tested by the desire we have of suffering for His love.
Heaven is not made for the slothful.
Christian joy is a gift of God flowing from a good conscience.
The cross is the gift God gives to his friends.
We must often remember what Christ said, that not he who begins, but he that perseveres to the end, shall be saved.
He who wishes for anything but Christ, does not know what he wishes; he who asks for anything but Christ, does not know what he is asking; he who works, and not for Christ, does not know what he is doing.
