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

The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain.

Every Holy Mass, heard with devotion, produces in our souls marvelous effects, abundant spiritual and material graces which we, ourselves, do not know...It is easier for the earth to exist without the sun than without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!

Joy, with peace, is the sister of charity. Serve the Lord with laughter.

Why fly like a hen when you can soar like an eagle?

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.

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!
