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

There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.

What peace can we hope to find elsewhere if we have none within us

God has been very good to me, for I never dwell upon anything wrong which a person has done, so as to remember it afterwards. If I do remember it, I always see some other virtue in that person.

Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

I often thought my constitution would never endure the work I had to do, (but) the Lord said to me: 'Daughter, obedience gives strength.'

For pity's sake, don't start meeting troubles halfway.
