Jesus himself wants my sufferings; He needs them for souls.

Why fly like a hen when you can soar like an eagle?

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.

In order to console a soul in it's sufferings, point out to it all the good it can still do.

Prayer is the best weapon we possess. It is the key that opens the heart of God.

Pray, Hope, and Don't Worry

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.
