Holy church-that mother who is also a queen because she is a king's bride.

How poor is the wisdom of men, and how uncertain their forecast!

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.

Ah, how true it is that we love ourselves too much and proceed with too much human prudence, that we may not lose an atom of our consideration! Oh, what a great mistake that is! The Saints did not act thus.

All times are dangerous times.

All blessings come to us through our Lord. He will teach us, for in beholding His life we find that He is the best example.
