Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly.

Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You. . .

Be comforted with this divine thought that your spiritual and physical pains are the test of the Divine Will.

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!

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.

Time spent in honor of God for the salvation of souls is never badly spent.

Jesus himself wants my sufferings; He needs them for souls.
