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.

Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.

Love does not stay idle.

Father, I am hungry; for the love of God give this soul her food, her Lord in the Eucharist

O fire of love! Was it not enough for You to have created us to Your image and likeness, and to have recreated us in grace through the Blood of Your Son, without giving Yourself wholly to us as our Food, O God, Divine Essence? What impelled You to do this? Your charity alone.

And let the truth be your delight...Proclaim it..., but with a certain congeniality.

What is it you want to change? Your hair, your face, your body? Why? For God is in love with all those things and he might weep when they are gone.
