Prayer is the oxygen of the soul.

May the Child Jesus be the star that guides you through the desert of your present life.

Faith guides even us and we follow its sure light on the way which conducts us to God and His homeland.

The sacred gift of prayer is in the right hand of our Savior, and according to the measure that you empty yourself of yourself, that is of love of your senses and of your own will, and make progress in rooting yourself in holy humility, to that extent the Lord will speak to your heart.

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.

Do you not see the Madonna always beside the tabernacle?

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