There is no better means of attainment to the spiritual life Than by continually beginning again.

The Lord delights in every little step you take.

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

Strive to see God in all things without exception. Do not smother yourself...If you start smothering yourself with a host of cares and longings and wishes ... you will be disabling yourself from serving God with all your heart.

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

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.

One rarely does well what one rarely does.
