I will always welcome joyfully any opportunity that comes my way to be of service to you

Always be quite simple and sincere and ask God to grant me those two virtues.

When in Rome, you must do as the Romans do and accept the local customs, if they are not immoral.

So, do not dwell any longer on what you are, but consider Our Lord close by you and within you, ready to put His hand to the work as soon as you call upon Him for help, and you will see that all will go well.

The wisest persons, surprised by some passion, often say things they later regret.

If you do not see any good in these persons, then say nothing, but if you do see some, speak about it to honor God in them because all good proceeds from Him.

With God's help, you will continue to succeed in your leadership and in your duties, because Our Lord's work is accomplished not so much by the multitude of workers as by the fidelity of the small number whom He calls.
