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

The longer the trial to which God subjects you, the greater the goodness in comforting you during the time of trial and in the exaltation after the combat.

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

Love is the first ingredient in the relief of suffering.

The devil is like a rabid dog tied to a chain; beyond the length of the chain he cannot seize anyone. And you: keep at a distance. If you approach too near, you let yourself be caught. Remember that the devil has only one door by which to enter the soul: the will.

Your tears were collected by the angels and were placed in a golden chalice, and you will find them when you present yourself before God.
