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."

Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You. . .

May the Child Jesus be the star that guides you through the desert of your present life.

The Rosary is THE weapon.

In the spiritual life, he who does not advance goes backwards.

By suffering we are able to give something to God. The gift of pain, of suffering is a big thing and cannot be accomplished in Paradise.

Jesus who cannot suffer long to keep you in affliction will come to relieve and comfort you by infusing fresh courage into your soul.
