Lord, I lean on You alone for strength. Give me your arm to support me, your shoulders to carry me, your breast on which to lay my head, your Cross to uphold me, your Eucharist to nourish me. On you Lord, I shall sleep and rest in peace.

Profit by the little trials that come to you, for through them we make real progress.

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.

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

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

Do not look back to the past, nor forward to the future. Claim only the present, for it holds God's will.

Preach by example of your lives rather than by words. Example is the very best sermon.
