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

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!

The harm that comes to souls from the lack of reading holy books makes me shudder... What power spiritual reading has to lead to a change of course, and to make even worldly people enter into the way of perfection.

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

The Cross will not crush you; if its weight makes you stagger, its power will also sustain you.

I feel a great desire to abandon myself with greater trust to the Divine Mercy and to place my hope in God alone.

We are the administrators of our money. We will have to give God an account of the use we make of it up to the last cent.
