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

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.

Though perseverance does not come from our power, yet it comes within our power.

Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.

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.

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

Those who pray from the heart do not think about the prayer they are saying, but about the God to whom they pray.
