He who has Jesus has everything.

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

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difficult, but it is made easier by the unction of grace and alleviated by an all-kind Providence whose help is never withdrawn and whose protection is felt at every moment.

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.

All desire but that of doing God's holy will has been extinguished in me.

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.

We are entirely in the care of Divine Providence, and it is very sweet to remain so in peace. The Cross is never lacking; may it be our consolation.
