You know well that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, as at the love with which we do them.

God would never inspire me with desires which cannot be realized; so in spite of my littleness, I can hope to be a saint.

What a joy to remember that she is our Mother! Since she loves us and knows our weakness, what have we to fear?

What offends Him and what wounds His Heart is the lack of confidence...Your heart is made to love Jesus, to love Him passionately...We have only the short moments of our life to love Jesus!

Go often to Holy Communion. Go very often! This is your one remedy.

Trust and trust alone should lead us to love
