The more I reflect on the graces I have received, the more they astonish me and make me tremble.

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

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difficult, but it is made easier by the unction of grace and alleviated by an all-kind Providence whose help is never withdrawn and whose protection is felt at every moment.

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

He who has Jesus has everything.

Those who desire only the good pleasure of God abide in peace even in the midst of failure, for God has not told us that He requires success of us.

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.
