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

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

How can we thankful? We can only love the Heart of Jesus more generously and by our union with Him, become the most humble.

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.

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.

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.

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