I have never come away from you without reflecting that the Spirit of God and His holy workings reside in you.

[Do not] overburden yourself with rules of devotion, but persist in doing well those you have, your daily actions, your work; in a word, let everything revolve around doing well what you are doing.

I feel so strongly about the truths Our Lord taught us by word and example that I cannot help but see how everything done according to that teaching always succeeds perfectly well, while things done the opposite way have a quite different result.

Let us do our duty well; let us go straight to God; let us work to become very humble, very patient, very mortified, and very charitable.

A man who behaves poorly in a Community will not do well in a parish.

Practice humility and patience.

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