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.

I realized that to become a saint one must suffer a great deal, always seek what is best, and forget oneself.

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

Much later, when I understood what perfection was, I realized that to become a saint one must suffer a great deal, always seek what is best, and forget oneself. I understood that there were many kinds of of sanctity and that each soul was free to respond to the approaches of Our Lord and to do little or much for Him - in other words,to make a choice among the sacrifices He demands.

Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender.

Look at Him while He is looking at you.

My vocation, at last I have found it; my vocation is love.
