To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.

If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend.

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

You ought to make every effort to free yourselves even from venial sin, and to do what is most perfect.

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

If you seek to carry no other crosses but those whose reason you understand, perfection is not for you.

We are always in the presence of God, yet it seems to me that those who pray are in His presence in a very different sense.
