Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.
Better make penitents by gentleness than hypocrites by severity.
Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
If after all your efforts you cannot succeed, you could not please our Lord more than by sacrificing to Him your will, and remaining in tranquility, humility, and devotion, entirely conformed and submissive to His divine will and good pleasure.
Be who you are and do that well.
Charity and devotion differ no more, the one from the other, than the flame from the fire.
