I am really much more afraid of those people who have so great a fear of the devil, than I am of the devil himself.

From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.

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

The devil put before me that I could not endure the trials of the religious life, because of my delicate nurture. I defended myself against him by alleging the trials which Christ endured, and that it was not much for me to suffer something for His sake; besides, He would help me to bear it.

Those who in fact risk all for God will find that they have both lost all and gained all.

Oh, how everything that is suffered with love is healed again!

We should blush for shame to show so much resentment at what is done or said against us, knowing that so many injuries and affronts have been offered to our Redeemer and the saints.
