Through the study of books one seeks God; by meditation one finds him.
In the spiritual life, he who does not advance goes backwards.
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.
The Cross will not crush you; if its weight makes you stagger, its power will also sustain you.
Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly.
The more you are afflicted, the more you ought to rejoice, because in the fire of tribulation the soul will become pure gold, worthy to be placed and to shine in the heavenly palace.
