Prayer is the best weapon we possess. It is the key that opens the heart of God.

You must concentrate on pleasing God alone, and if He is pleased, you must be pleased.

If you have the courage to imitate Mary Magdalene in her sins, have the courage to imitate her penance!

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

Ahead! Courage! In the spiritual life he who does not advance goes backward. It happens as with a boat which always must go ahead. If it stands still the wind will blow it back.

Walk in the way of the Lord with simplicity and do not torment your spirit. You must hate your defects, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless.

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.
