Holiness consists simply in doing God's will, and being just what God wants us to be.
It's true, I suffer a great deal-but do I suffer well? That is the question.
I would prefer a thousand times to receive reproofs than to give them to others.
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!
How happy I am to see myself as imperfect and to be in need of God's mercy.
If I am despised by the world, If it considers me as nothing, A divine peace flood me. For I have the Host as my support. When I draw near the ciborium, All my sighs are heard... To be nothing is my glory. I am the atom of Jesus.
