We cultivate a very small field for Christ, but we love it, knowing that God does not require great achievements but a heart that holds back nothing for self.

If you have no earthly consolation, why do you not seek consolation in the Heart of Jesus? To love him is truest joy.

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

For a long time a very strong and deep attraction has drawn me to missionary life.

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.
