I love my solitude, and I would love it still more if I had more of it.

If humility is always desirable, generous humility is still more so.

O Jesus, my Divine Saviour, I offer You my mind and heart. Direct their movements while I pray, so that I may offer my prayer in union with Your Immaculate Mother.

Really, it is the Lord who carries the cross, for He knows how to make the soul content with little or no consolation and always to find strength in the words..."Thy will be done."

How truly blessed we shall be if at the price of even very great sacrifices we shall have made God known and loved by one more soul!

Strength of character is certainly needed to face life in the world and to stand by right principles, especially in the age in which we live.

God alone and the desire of His glory - nothing else matters.
