Strengthen in us, O God, the work You have begun in us.

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.

Profit by the little trials that come to you, for through them we make real progress.

If you have no earthly consolation, why do you not seek consolation in the Heart of Jesus? To love him is truest joy.

For a long time a very strong and deep attraction has drawn me to missionary life.

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

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.
