. . . It is God's plan that those who are to help others spiritually fall into the temptations of mind and body by which others can be tormented. . . . Scorn both these evil suggestions and the wickedness of their author, who is the devil.

If after so much effort and prayer, the matter is not successful, it will be a clear sign that God does not will it.

. . . in the final analysis, virtue is not found in extremes, but in prudence . . .

In this way, through experience they will be formed adequately, will be encouraged, and will be capable of rendering service to God.

All of you desire to belong entirely to God, and God also wants all of you to belong to Him

Is it not better to fail after asking advice than to risk acting on our own?

Providence must call us and we must follow it, if we are to go forward confidently.
