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.

Never forget that the road to Heaven is the Way of the Cross. Jesus has called us to follow Him, bearing the Cross as He did.

I am where God wills me to be, and so I have found rest and security. His wisdom governs me, His power defends me, His grace sanctifies me, His mercy encompasses me, His joy sustains me and all will go well with me.

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

How very beautiful and consoling our faith is! For the little work we do here on earth it promises in return all the joys of assured happiness.

O Jesus, my Divine Saviour, I offer You my mind and heart. Direct their movements while I pray, so that I may offer my prayer in union with Your Immaculate Mother.

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.
