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

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.

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

We must empty purgatory with our prayers.

We are the administrators of our money. We will have to give God an account of the use we make of it up to the last cent.

The longer the trial to which God subjects you, the greater the goodness in comforting you during the time of trial and in the exaltation after the combat.

The Lord is a Father, the most tender and best of fathers. He cannot fail to be moved when His children appeal to Him.
