In the presence of Jesus in the Holy Sacrament we ought to be like the Blessed in heaven before the Divine Essence

If we do not use great care to mortify our will, there are many things which can deprives us of the holy freedom of spirit that we are seeking in order to fly more freely to our Creator, without always being bogged down with the clay of this earth. Moreover, there can never be solid virtue in a soul that is attached to its own will.

Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.

Let him never cease from prayer, who has once begun to pray, even though his life is ever so bad. For prayer is the only way to amend one's life and without prayer it will never be mended. Let him not be tempted of the devil, as I was, to give up prayer on account of one's unworthiness. Let such a one rather believe that if he will only repent and pray, our Lord will still hear and answer.

Our soul can find in the Blessed Sacrament all the joys and consolations it desires.

God deliver me from people who are so spiritual that they want to turn everything into perfect contemplation, come what may.

In all created things discern the providence and wisdom of God, and in all things give Him thanks.
