Let's try not to be exacting with other people, but rather to pass over in silence those thousand little annoyances that tend to irritate us. For we know that no one is perfect in this life, and we must put up with the defects of others as they put up with ours.

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.

Let us realize that we are sinners and have much to explate, while others less culpable than we are suffer more than we do.

My prayers are just an outpouring of gratitude for the assurance of that most completely desired Will of God, which will seem all the more desirable in all that is ahead.

Strengthen in us, O God, the work You have begun in us.

Humility is the virtue that requires the greatest amount of effort.

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.
