Do not be dismayed, daughters, at the number of things that you have to consider before setting out on this divine journey, which is the royal road to heaven. By taking this road we gain such precious treasures that it is no wonder if the cost seems to us a high one. The time will come when we shall realize that all we have paid has been nothing at all by comparison with the greatness of our prizes.

Our soul can find in the Blessed Sacrament all the joys and consolations it desires.

Never do anything which you could not do in the sight of all.

There is more security in self-denial, mortification, and other like virtues, than in an abundance of tears.

The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.

If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend.
