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

Lord, I lean on You alone for strength. Give me your arm to support me, your shoulders to carry me, your breast on which to lay my head, your Cross to uphold me, your Eucharist to nourish me. On you Lord, I shall sleep and rest in peace.

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

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

If we love Jesus, we shall be loved in return by Him, and that is perfect happiness.

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

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