God is even kinder than you think.

When we accept what happens to us and make the best of it, we are praising God.

Oh, my Lord! How true it is that whoever works for you is paid in troubles! And what a precious price to those who love you if we understand its value.

Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except God. God alone is sufficient.

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

We cannot be sure if we are loving God, although we may have good reasons for believing that we are, but we can know quite well if we are loving our neighbor. And be certain that, the farther advanced you find you are in this, the greater the love you will have for God.

It is impossible for human tongue to exaggerate the riches which a vision from God brings to the soul: it even bestows health and refreshment on the body.
