There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world.

To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.

Let there be no disappointment when obedience keeps you busy in outward tasks. If it sends you to the kitchen, remember that the Lord walks among the pots and pans.

We know only that we are living in these bodies and have a vague idea, because we have heard it, and because our faith tells us so, that we possess souls. As to what good qualities there may be in our souls, or who dwells within them, or how precious they are, those are things which seldom consider and so we trouble little about carefully preserving the soul's beauty.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

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

It is true that we cannot be free from sin, but at least let our sins not always be the same.
