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

Profit by the little trials that come to you, for through them we make real progress.

He who has Jesus has everything.

How truly blessed we shall be if at the price of even very great sacrifices we shall have made God known and loved by one more soul!

Really, it is the Lord who carries the cross, for He knows how to make the soul content with little or no consolation and always to find strength in the words..."Thy will be done."

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

The dear Lord has favored us with a share of His cross. The greatest and undoubtedly the hardest to bear is the lack of success in our work here. If a saint had been in charge, all would have gone well.
