In no other action can our Savior be considered more tender or more loving than in this, in which He, as it were, annihilates Himself and reduces Himself to food, that He may penetrate our souls and unite Himself to the hearts of His faithful.

It is right that you should begin again every day. There is no better way to complete the spiritual life than to be ever beginning it over again.

The merit of the cross does not consist in its heaviness, but in the manner in which we carry it. I would even say that it is sometimes more virtuous to carry a cross of straw than a heavy cross because we have to be more attentive for fear of losing it.

Charity and devotion differ no more, the one from the other, than the flame from the fire.

To live according to the spirit is to love according to the spirit.

Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.

One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.
