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

There is nothing more dangerous in the spiritual life, than to wish to rule ourselves after our own way of thinking.

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

The best way to prepare for death is to spend every day of life as though it were the last.

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.

First let a little love find entrance into their hearts, and the rest will follow.

Without mortification nothing can be done.
