When Charity is deeply rooted in the soul it shows itself exteriorly: there is so gracious a way of refusing what we cannot give, that the refusal pleases as much as the gift.

A word or a smile is often enough to put fresh life in a despondent soul.

The science of loving, yes, that's the only kind of science I want I'd barter away everything I possess to win it.

Jesus does not demand great actions from us, but simply surrender and gratitude.

Everything is a grace, everything is the direct effect of our Father's love - difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul's miseries, her burdens, her needs - everything, because through them, she learns humility, realizes her weakness. Everything is a grace because everything is God's gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events - to the heart that loves, all is well.

Let us rise above the things that pass away. Up above, the air is so pure. Jesus can hide Himself but we will find Him there.

The good God would not inspire unattainable desires.
