Pray, Hope, and Don't Worry

In books we seek God; in prayer we find him. Prayer is the key which opens God's heart.

Pray, Hope, and Don't Worry

Be content to progress in slow steps until you have legs to run and wings with which to fly.

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.

Only in Heaven will everything be as beautiful as spring, as pleasant as autumn, and as full of love as summer.

Why should you worry whether God wants you to reach the heavenly home by way of the desert or by the fields, when by the one as well as by the other one arrives all the same at a Blessed Eternity? Keep far from you excessive preoccupation which arises from the trials which the good God wishes to visit upon you.
