Proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear.

You, God, made yourself lowly and small to make us great!

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

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

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.

Charity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.

We've been deceived by the thought that we would be more pleasing to God in our own way than in the way God has given us.
