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 not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

Remember always your end, and that lost time does not return.

Faith is required of thee, and a sincere life, not loftiness of intellect, nor deepness in the mysteries of God.

God often gives in one brief moment that which He has for a long time denied.

Do not read to satisfy curiosity or to pass the time, but study such things as move your heart to devotion.

For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.
