The most beautiful act of faith is the one made in darkness, in sacrificing, and with extreme effort.

Peace is the simplicity of heart, serenity of mind, tranquility of soul, the bond of love.

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.

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.

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.

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

Let us bind ourselves tightly to the Sorrowful Heart of our Heavenly Mother and reflect on it's boundless grief and how precious is our soul.
