He does not call those who are worthy, but those whom He wills.

(Whispered to a novice while standing in front of the convent library) Oh! I would have been sorry to have read all those books...If I had read them, I would have broken my head, and I would have wasted precious time that I could have employed very simply in loving God.

Let us love, since our heart is made for nothing else.

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

It has a supernatural grandeur which expands the soul and unites it with God. I say an Our Father or a Hail Mary when I feel so spiritually barren that I cannot summon up a single worth while thought. These two prayers fill me with rapture and feed and satisfy my soul.

I will spend my heaven doing good on earth.

God has made me desire always what he most wants to give me.
