Let us not be justices of the peace, but angels of peace.

When we are expecting only suffering, the least joy surprises us: Suffering itself becomes the greatest of joys when we seek it as a precious treasure.

The greatest honor God can do a soul is not give it much; but to ask much of it.

We must do everything we are obliged to do; give without reckoning, practice virtue whenever opportunity offers, constantly overcome ourselves, prove our love by all the little acts of tenderness and consideration we can muster. In a word, we must produce all the good works that lie within our strength - out of love for God.

It's true, I suffer a great deal-but do I suffer well? That is the question.

In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.

Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love. I go to that Divine Furnace to draw out life, And there my Sweet Saviour listens to me night and day.
