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 Church is the house of God. It is forbidden for men to enter with bare arms or in shorts. It is forbidden for women to enter in trousers, without a veil on their head, in short clothing, low necklines, sleeveless or immodest dresses.

As gifts increase in you, let your humility grow, for you must consider that everything is given to you on loan.

Only in Heaven will everything be as beautiful as spring, as pleasant as autumn, and as full of love as summer.

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.

In all the events of life, you must recognize the Divine will. Adore and bless it, especially in the things which are the hardest for you.

Prayer is the oxygen of the soul.
