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.

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!

All desire but that of doing God's holy will has been extinguished in me.

Love aright and you will never be sad. Embrace God's will and you will be filled with joy and peace.

What interests you most is our present condition: it is what we would have desired, thorny and difficult, but it is made easier by the unction of grace and alleviated by an all-kind Providence whose help is never withdrawn and whose protection is felt at every moment.

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

Jesus, I live for Thee, I labor for Thee, I desire only Thee. Thou in me and I in Thee; Thou with me and I with Thee; Thou all mine and I all Thine.
