May God protect me from gloomy saints.

I am afraid that if we begin to put our trust in human help, some of our Divine help will fail us.

It constantly happens that the Lord permits a soul to fall so that it may grow humbler.

It should be observed that perfect love of God consists not in those delights, tears and sentiments of devotion that we generally seek, but in a strong determination and keen desire to please God in all things, and to promote His glory.

It is only mercenaries who expect to be paid by the day.

We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.

May I not come before You with empty hands, since we are rewarded according to our deeds.
