Let us reflect that we shall always do God's Will and He will do ours when we carry out that of our Superiors.

Just as stinginess is blameworthy, so is facility in paying more for things than they are worth...

If God is the center of your life, no words are necessary. Your mere presence will touch hearts.

Good works are often spoiled by moving too quickly. . . . The good which God desires is accomplished almost by itself, without our even thinking of it.

Would that God, Monsieur, had rendered us worthy of spending our lives, as Our Lord did, for the salvation of those poor souls so far removed from all assistance.

God's affairs are accomplished gradually and almost imperceptibly and His spirit is neither violent nor tempestuous.

I can understand that the man you told me about has offended you, and I am very annoyed that he forgot himself like that. However, you must not consider what he did as coming from him but rather as a trial which God wishes to make of your patience. This virtue will be even more a virtue in you who are more sensitive by nature and have given less cause for the offense that you have received.
