The devil is like a rabid dog tied to a chain; beyond the length of the chain he cannot seize anyone. And you: keep at a distance. If you approach too near, you let yourself be caught. Remember that the devil has only one door by which to enter the soul: the will.

Never rise from the table without having given due thanks to the Lord. If we act in this way, we need have no fear of the wretched sin of gluttony.

Let us bind ourselves tightly to the Sorrowful Heart of our Heavenly Mother and reflect on it's boundless grief and how precious is our soul.

The Mother of Sorrows is my confidante, my teacher, my counselor, and my powerful advocate.

Since eternity means happiness for you, what does it matter if some of these passing moments are unpleasant?

In all the events of life, you must recognize the Divine will. Adore and bless it, especially in the things which are the hardest for you.

Our Lord sends the crosses; we do not have to invent them.
