We must hide our tears from the One who sends them, from the One who has shed tears Himself and continues to shed them every day because of mans' ingratitude.

On this earth everyone has his cross. But we must act in such a way that we be not the bad, but good thief.

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.

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.

We must empty purgatory with our prayers.

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 Rosary is THE weapon.
