Humor is the foundation of reconciliation.

What son would not bring his mother back to life and would not bring her into paradise after her death if he could?

It matters little how one begins, provided that he be resolved to go on well, and to end well.

Let the enemy rage at the gate; let him knock, pound, scream, howl; let him do his worst. We know for certain that he cannot enter our soul except by the door of our consent.

If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently... And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.

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.
