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

Have patience with all things - but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You are perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs or tribulations can ever change that.

In no other action can our Savior be considered more tender or more loving than in this, in which He, as it were, annihilates Himself and reduces Himself to food, that He may penetrate our souls and unite Himself to the hearts of His faithful.

In everything, love simplicity.

Flowers often grow more beautifully on dung-hills than in gardens that look beautifully kept.
