Through the study of books one seeks God; by meditation one finds him.

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.

Jesus who cannot suffer long to keep you in affliction will come to relieve and comfort you by infusing fresh courage into your soul.

We must empty purgatory with our prayers.

In the spiritual life, he who does not advance goes backwards.

The Lord our King will hold the door of His heart open for anyone who wants to enter for an audience at any time

In order to attract us, the Lord grants us many graces that we believe can easily obtain Heaven for us. We do not know, however, that in order to grow, we need hard bread: the cross, humiliation, trials and denials.
