To love our neighbor in charity is to love God in man.

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

The whole world is not worth one soul.

In so far as divine love beautifies our souls. And makes us pleasing to His divine Majesty, it is called grace; in so far as it gives us strength to do good, it is called charity; but when it reaches such a degree of perfection, that it makes us not only do the good, but do so carefully, frequently and readily, then it is called devotion.

For every great temptation there will be many small ones. Wolves and bears are more dangerous than flies, but we are bothered most by flies.

We have freedom to do good or evil; yet to make choice of evil, is not to use, but to abuse our freedom.
