Frequently, only silence can express my prayer.

I will send a shower of roses.

And it is the Lord, it is Jesus, Who is my judge. Therefore I will try always to think leniently of others, that He may judge me leniently, or rather not at all, since He says: "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged.

I am simply content to find myself always imperfect, and in this I find my joy. Good deeds count as nothing, if done without love.

He does not call those who are worthy, but those whom He wills.

My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice, these are my invincible arms; they can move hearts far better than words, I know it by experience.

Love is nourished only by sacrifices, and the more a soul refuses natural satisfactions, the stronger and more disinterested becomes her tenderness.
