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.

Do not look back to the past, nor forward to the future. Claim only the present, for it holds God's will.

He who has Jesus has everything.

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.

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

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."
