I want to shine like a little candle before His altar.

Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love.

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

Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.

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.

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

I am very far from practicing what I understand.
