Better make penitents by gentleness than hypocrites by severity.

It is not those who commit the least faults who are the most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immediately apprehensive about tripping.

Faith is like a bright ray of sun light. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.

All of us can attain to Christian virtue and holiness, no matter in what condition of life we live and no matter what our life work may be.

Fear is a greater evil than evil itself.

Whatever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God.

Since God often sends us inspirations by means of His angels, we should frequently return our aspirations to him by means of the same messengers.
