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

A heart given to God loses none of its natural tenderness; on the contrary, the more pure and divine it becomes, the more such tenderness increases.

I am very far from practicing what I understand.

Nothing's done well when it's done out of self-interest.

He is not far off; He is there, very close. He is looking at us, and He is begging this sorrow, this agony from us. He needs it for souls and for our soul... Alas, it does pain Him to give us sorrows to drink, but He knows this is the only means of preparing us to know Him as He knows Himself and to become God's ourselves.

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

The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy. It depends upon the way we occupy that place.
