There is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.

O my soul, what are you doing? Are you not aware that God sees you always? You can never hide yourself from His sight. O Father, have pity on us because we are blind and in darkness. Drive out the darkness and give me light. Melt the ice of my self-love and kindle in me the fire of Your charity.

And of what should we be afraid? Our captain on this battlefield is Christ Jesus. We have discovered what we have to do. Christ has bound our enemies for us and weakened them that they cannot overcome us unless we so choose to let them. So we must fight courageously and mark ourselves with the sign of the most Holy Cross.

A soul cannot live without loving. It must have something to love, for it was created to love.

Do not presume to choose your own way of serving instead of the one I have made for you.

The devil never sleeps.

It is human to sin, but diabolic to persist in sin.
