May God protect me from gloomy saints.

The true penance comes when God takes away the soul's health and strength for doing penance. Even though I have mentioned elsewhere the great pain this lack causes, the pain is much more intense here. All these things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.

All times are dangerous times.

Whenever conscience commands anything, there is only one thing to fear, and that is fear.

If we practice love of neighbor with great perfection, we will have done everything.

Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We don't remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We don't understand the great secrets hidden inside of us.

Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
