My good works, however wretched and imperfect, have been made better and perfected by Him Who is my Lord: He has rendered them meritorious. As to my evil deeds and my sins, He hid them at once. The eyes of those who saw them, He made even blind; and He has blotted them out of their memory.

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

I would never want any prayer that would not make the virtues grow within me.

I only wish I could write with both hands, so as not to forget one thing while I am saying another.

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.
