He who is unable to spend a long time together in prayer, should often lift up his mind to God by short prayers.
Philip NeriIn this life there is no purgatory; it is either hell or paradise; for to him who serves God truly, every trouble and infirmity turns into consolations, and through all kinds of trouble he has a paradise within himself even in this world: and he who does not serve God truly, and gives himself up to sensuality, has one hell in this world, and another in the next.
Philip NeriIt is easy to infuse a most fervent devotion into others, even in a short time; but the great matter is - to persevere.
