What value is there in faith without works? And what are they worth if they are not united to the merits of Jesus Christ, our only good?

I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes with which Christ looks out his compassion to the world. Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which he is to bless us now.

If we do not use great care to mortify our will, there are many things which can deprives us of the holy freedom of spirit that we are seeking in order to fly more freely to our Creator, without always being bogged down with the clay of this earth. Moreover, there can never be solid virtue in a soul that is attached to its own will.

In the presence of Jesus in the Holy Sacrament we ought to be like the Blessed in heaven before the Divine Essence

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

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