Your tears were collected by the angels and were placed in a golden chalice, and you will find them when you present yourself before God.

By suffering we are able to give something to God. The gift of pain, of suffering is a big thing and cannot be accomplished in Paradise.

Your temptations are from the devil and from Hell; but your sufferings and afflictions are from God and Heaven.

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

We must know how to confide. There is the fear of God and the fear of a Judas. Too much fear makes one labour without love, and too much confidence prevents from considering the danger which we must overcome.

We are the administrators of our money. We will have to give God an account of the use we make of it up to the last cent.

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.
