Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly; and if He does not let you feel the sweetness of His love, it is to make you more humble and abject in your own eyes.

The Cross will not crush you; if its weight makes you stagger, its power will also sustain you.

He who does not meditate acts as one who never looks into the mirror and so does not bother to put himself in order, since he can be dirty without knowing it. The person who meditates and turns his thoughts to God who is the mirror of the soul, seeks to know his defects and tries to correct them, moderates himself in his impulses and puts his conscience in order.

The harm that comes to souls from the lack of reading holy books makes me shudder... What power spiritual reading has to lead to a change of course, and to make even worldly people enter into the way of perfection.

The Lord our King will hold the door of His heart open for anyone who wants to enter for an audience at any time

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

In the spiritual life, he who does not advance goes backwards.
