I live now in solitude and am able to use my time reflecting on the past and preparing for death. I cannot put away the thought of the Indians and in my ambition I fly to the Rockies.

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

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.

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

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

He who has Jesus has everything.

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.
