Hope comes from love, because people always trust in those they love.

How many are the pains of those who hunger for revenge! They gnaw away at themselves constantly, and they have killed themselves even before they kill their enemies.

Every evil, harm and suffering in this life comes from the love of riches.

To a brave man, good and bad luck are like his left and right hand. He uses both.

Of course you are unworthy. But when do you hope to be worthy? You will be no more worthy at the end than at the beginning. God alone is worthy of Himself, He alone can make us worthy of Him.

Eternal Trinity... mystery deep as the sea, You could give me no greater gift than the gift of Yourself. For You are a fire ever burning and never consumed, which itself consumes all the selfish love that fills my being.

Lord, take me from myself and give me to yourself.
