I would never want any prayer that would not make the virtues grow within me.

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

Settle yourself in solitude, and you will come upon God in yourself.

It is not a matter of thinking a great deal but of loving a great deal, so do whatever arouses you most to love.

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

Those who give themselves to prayer should in a special manner have always a devotion to St. Joseph; for I know not how any man can think of the Queen of the angels, during the time that she suffered so much with the Infant Jesus, without giving thanks to St. Joseph for the services he rendered them then.

The surest way to determine whether one possesses the love of God is to see whether he or she loves his or her neighbor. These two loves are never separated. Rest assured, the more you progress in love of neighbor the more your love of God will increase.
