Every moment comes to us pregnant with a command from God, only to pass on and plunge into eternity, there to remain forever what we have made of it.

Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.

Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.

Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. I mean do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage

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

There is nothing small in the service of God.

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?
