It is true that God's power triumphs over everything, but humble and suffering prayer prevails over God Himself.

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

He who does not meditate acts as one who never looks into the mirror and so does not bother to put himself in order, since he can be dirty without knowing it. The person who meditates and turns his thoughts to God who is the mirror of the soul, seeks to know his defects and tries to correct them, moderates himself in his impulses and puts his conscience in order.

The most beautiful act of faith is the one made in darkness, in sacrificing, and with extreme effort.

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!

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.
