He that seeks here any other thing but simply God and the salvation of his soul, will find nothing but trouble and sorrow.

So fixed are our spirits in slothfulness and cold indifference that we seldom overcome so much as one evil habit.

Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.

Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.

Let all your thoughts be with the Most High, and direct your humble prayers unceasingly to Christ. If you cannot contemplate high and heavenly things, take refuge in the Passion of Christ, and love to dwell within His Sacred Wounds. For if you devoutly seek the Wounds of Jesus and the precious marks of His Passion, you will find great strength in all troubles.

Be thankful for the smallest blessing, and you will be worthy to receive greater.
