He will never let the trial surpass the strength He gives you, and at the very moment you think yourself overwhelmed by sorrow, He will lift you up and give you peace.

What interests you most is our present condition: it is what we would have desired, thorny and difficult, but it is made easier by the unction of grace and alleviated by an all-kind Providence whose help is never withdrawn and whose protection is felt at every moment.

Let us never lose courage or despair of God's mercy. We have only to humble ourselves before God in order to obtain grace to become all that we ought to be.

Love aright and you will never be sad. Embrace God's will and you will be filled with joy and peace.

If you have no earthly consolation, why do you not seek consolation in the Heart of Jesus? To love him is truest joy.

Let us bear our cross and leave it to God to determine the length and the weight.

The more I reflect on the graces I have received, the more they astonish me and make me tremble.
