Let us think only of spending the present day well. Then when tomorrow shall have come, it will be called today, and then we will think about it.

Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.

There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!

Obedience is a consecration of the heart, chastity of the body, and poverty of all worldly goods to the Love and Service of God. Blessed indeed are the obedient, for God will never permit them to go astray.

If this end were to come to you today, how would you be pleased with the life you have led this year?
