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.

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

Strength of character is certainly needed to face life in the world and to stand by right principles, especially in the age in which we live.

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.

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

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.

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."
