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

To wish to act like angels while we are still in this world is nothing but folly.

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.

God, deliver me from sullen saints.

Her heart is full of joy with love, for in the Lord her mind is stilled. She has renounced every selfish attachment and draws abiding joy and strength from the One within. She lives not for herself, but lives to serve the Lord of Love in all, and swims across the sea of life breasting its rough waves joyfully.

Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.

How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer.
