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

It isn't enough to love; we must prove it.

I know now that true charity consists in bearing all our neighbors'defects--not being surprised at their weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues.

God would turn the world around to find suffering in order to give it to a soul upon whom He has set His Divine gaze with ineffable love.

For me to love you, Jesus, as you love me, I would have to borrow your own love and then only would I be at rest.

If I am despised by the world, If it considers me as nothing, A divine peace flood me. For I have the Host as my support. When I draw near the ciborium, All my sighs are heard... To be nothing is my glory. I am the atom of Jesus.

How happy I am to see myself as imperfect and to be in need of God's mercy.
