One always goes on as one begins.

The most potent and acceptable prayer is the prayer that leaves the best effects. I don't mean it must immediately fill the soul with desire . . . The best effects are those that are followed up by actions-when the soul not only desires the honor of God, but really strives for it.

Prayer is an act of love; words are not needed. Even if sickness distracts from thoughts, all that is needed is the will to love.

Let thy words be few when in the midst of many.

Hope, O my soul, hope. You know neither the day nor the hour.

Desire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him. If you act in this way, you will always live in great peace.

Patience attains All that it strives for. He who has God Finds he lacks nothing: God alone suffices.
