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

The great majority of men use their own short-sighted ideas as a yardstick for measuring the divine omnipotence.

No harm can come to me since, in whatever happens, I see only the tender hand of Jesus.

I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.

Why should we defend ourselves when we are misunderstood and misjudged? Let us leave that aside. Let us not say anything. It is so sweet to let others judge us in any way they like. O blessed silence, which gives so much peace to the soul!

I want to give myself totally to Him...I want to live no longer but for Him.

Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.
