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.

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

In the spiritual life, you must take one step forward each day in a vertical line, from the bottom up.

The Lord is a Father, the most tender and best of fathers. He cannot fail to be moved when His children appeal to Him.

Oh, how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it. Oh, if only all could understand how precious time is, undoubtedly everyone would do his best to spend it in a praiseworthy manner!

Do not let your heart become troubled by the sad spectacle of human injustice. Even this has its value in the face of all else. And it is from this that one day you will see the justice of God rising with unfailing triumph.

Your temptations are from the devil and from Hell; but your sufferings and afflictions are from God and Heaven.
