My soul experienced a peace so sweet, so deep, it would be impossible to express it.

In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.

As the sun shines both on the cedar and the smallest flower, so the Divine sun illumines each soul.

We who run in the way of Love must never torment ourselves about anything. If I did not suffer minute by minute, it would be impossible for me to be patient; but I see only the present moment, I forget the past, and take good care not to anticipate the future. If we grow disheartened, if sometimes we despair, it is because we have been dwelling on the past or the future.

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!

Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love. I go to that Divine Furnace to draw out life, And there my Sweet Saviour listens to me night and day.

The great majority of men use their own short-sighted ideas as a yardstick for measuring the divine omnipotence.
