All of us can attain to Christian virtue and holiness, no matter in what condition of life we live and no matter what our life work may be.

Make sickness itself a prayer.

By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.

Friendship requires great communication.

Have patience to walk with short steps until you have wings to fly.

It is not those who commit the least faults who are the most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immediately apprehensive about tripping.

Never be hurried in anything. Do all things calmly and in a spirit of repose. Do not lose your inward peace even if everything seems to be going wrong. What is anything in life compared to peace of soul?
