Above the clouds the sky is always blue.

In Heaven the good God will do all I wish, because I have never done my own will upon earth.

God has made me desire always what he most wants to give me.

I realized that to become a saint one must suffer a great deal, always seek what is best, and forget oneself.

Everything is a grace, everything is the direct effect of our Father's love - difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul's miseries, her burdens, her needs - everything, because through them, she learns humility, realizes her weakness. Everything is a grace because everything is God's gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events - to the heart that loves, all is well.

For me, prayer is an upward leap of the heart, an untroubled glance towards heaven, a cry of gratitude and love which I utter from the depths of sorrow as well as from the heights of joy.

Each small task of everyday life is part of the total harmony of the universe.
