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

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

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.

We are entirely in the care of Divine Providence, and it is very sweet to remain so in peace. The Cross is never lacking; may it be our consolation.

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

It fills me with joy to realize that I can lay down my life daily for God, that I can sacrifice it willingly for Him. I may not be a martyr for the faith, but I can be a martyr of charity.

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