Don't get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is greater than our weakness.

There are many who say to the Lord, "I give myself wholly to Thee, without any reserve," but there are few who embrace the practice of this abandonment, which consists in receiving with a certain indifference every sort of event, as it happens in conformity with Divine Providence, as well afflictions as consolations, contempt and reproaches as honor and glory.

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

Provided that God be glorified, we must not care by whom.

When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.

While extremely sensitive as to the slightest approach to slander, you must also guard against an extreme into which some people fall, who, in their desire to speak evil of no one, actually uphold and speak well of vice.

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