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

Stop entertaining those vain fears. Remember it is not feeling which constitutes guilt but the consent to such feelings. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is not only no fault but there is virtue.

In the spiritual life, you must take one step forward each day in a vertical line, from the bottom up.

In order to console a soul in it's sufferings, point out to it all the good it can still do.

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

On this earth everyone has his cross. But we must act in such a way that we be not the bad, but good thief.

Why should you worry whether God wants you to reach the heavenly home by way of the desert or by the fields, when by the one as well as by the other one arrives all the same at a Blessed Eternity? Keep far from you excessive preoccupation which arises from the trials which the good God wishes to visit upon you.
