If the soul would know the merit which one acquires in temptations suffered in patience and conquered, it would be tempted to say: "Lord, send me temptations."

I remind you that I belong with great ardor to everyone and for this reason I am suffering immensely for all.

Recommend me to the Lord and to the Virgin Mother because I am in extreme need of their help.

Only in Heaven will everything be as beautiful as spring, as pleasant as autumn, and as full of love as summer.

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

Why should you worry whether God wants you to reach the heavenly home by way of the desert or by the fields, when by the one as well as by the other one arrives all the same at a Blessed Eternity? Keep far from you excessive preoccupation which arises from the trials which the good God wishes to visit upon you.

The more you are afflicted, the more you ought to rejoice, because in the fire of tribulation the soul will become pure gold, worthy to be placed and to shine in the heavenly palace.
