If we learn to love the earth, we will find labyrinths, gardens, fountains and precious jewels! A whole new world will open itself to us. We will discover what it means to be truly alive.

However much we do to avoid them, we shall never lack crosses in this life if we are in the ranks of the Crucified.

It is not so essential to think much as to love much.

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.

There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.

There was the torture of sermons, and that not a slight one, for I was very fond of them.

God has no hands or feet or voice except ours and through these He works.
