Be comforted with this divine thought that your spiritual and physical pains are the test of the Divine Will.

Pray with perseverance, with faith, with calmness and serenity.

Your tears were collected by the angels and were placed in a golden chalice, and you will find them when you present yourself before God.

The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain.

Always stay close to this Heavenly Mother, because she is the sea to be crossed to reach the shores of Eternal Splendour.

I want to be only a poor friar who prays - if God sees blemishes even in the angels, can you imagine what He sees in me!

Walk in the way of the Lord with simplicity and do not torment your spirit. You must hate your defects, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless.
