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.

Let's try not to be exacting with other people, but rather to pass over in silence those thousand little annoyances that tend to irritate us. For we know that no one is perfect in this life, and we must put up with the defects of others as they put up with ours.

We are entirely in the care of Divine Providence, and it is very sweet to remain so in peace. The Cross is never lacking; may it be our consolation.

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

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

He who has Jesus has everything.

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