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

If only I could be hidden in a corner, so as not to be tempted to worry about things that are not really my business.

How very beautiful and consoling our faith is! For the little work we do here on earth it promises in return all the joys of assured happiness.

The worst defect in the world would be to consider yourself free from faults. Being too greatly saddened by one's faults can come from having one's pride humiliated.

Learn to let others do their share of the work. Things may be done less well, but you will have more peace of soul and health of body. And what temporal interest should we not sacrifice in order to gain these blessings?

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.

Never forget that the road to Heaven is the Way of the Cross. Jesus has called us to follow Him, bearing the Cross as He did.
