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

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

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

Let us bear our cross and leave it to God to determine the length and the weight.

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

He who has Jesus has everything.

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.
