Holiness consists simply in doing God's will, and being just what God wants us to be.

The country in which I live is not my native country, that lies elsewhere, and it must always be the center of my longings.

Do not fear to tell Jesus that you love Him even without feeling it. That is the way to force Jesus to help you, to carry you like a little child too feeble to walk.

How can the good God Who loves us so much, be happy when we suffer? Never does our suffering make Him happy; but it is necessary for us, and so He sends it to us while, as it were, turning away His Face. . . I assure you that it costs Him dearly to fill us with bitterness.

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

Love is a universe of its own, comprising all time and space.

Do you realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you- for you alone? He burns with the desire to come into your heart... don't listen to the demon, laugh at him, and go without fear to receive the Jesus of peace and love.
