Humility and purity are the wings which carry us to God and make us almost divine.

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 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.

I feel a great desire to abandon myself with greater trust to the Divine Mercy and to place my hope in God alone.

In all the events of life, you must recognize the Divine will. Adore and bless it, especially in the things which are the hardest for you.

Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart.

It is necessary to be strong, in order to become great: that is our duty. Life is a struggle, which we cannot avoid. We must triumph!
