What father ever gave up his son to death for the sake of his slave!

The Devil often places himself upon the tongues of creatures, causing them to chatter nonsensically.

Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.

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.

No one should judge that he has greater perfection because he performs great penances and gives himself in excess to the staying of the body than he who does less, inasmuch as neither virtue nor merit consists therein; for otherwise he would be an evil case, who for some legitimate reason was unable to do actual penance. Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, flavored with the light of true discretion without which the soul is worth nothing.

To the servant of God... every place is the right place, and every time is the right time.

It is a human thing to sin, but perseverance in sin is a thing of the devil.
