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

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."

If humility is always desirable, generous humility is still more so.

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.

The worst defect in the world would be to consider yourself free from faults. Being too greatly saddened by one's faults can come from having one's pride humiliated.

There are no difficulties except for those who worry too much about tomorrow.

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