Our Lord sends the crosses; we do not have to invent them.

We must know how to confide. There is the fear of God and the fear of a Judas. Too much fear makes one labour without love, and too much confidence prevents from considering the danger which we must overcome.

Pray, Hope, and Don't Worry

Humility and purity are the wings which carry us to God and make us almost divine.

Never rise from the table without having given due thanks to the Lord. If we act in this way, we need have no fear of the wretched sin of gluttony.

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

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.
