Rarely is any good done without difficulty; the devil is too subtle and the world too corrupt not to attempt to nip such a good work in the bud

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

I hope that this man can be won over by your bearing charitably with him, advising him prudently, and praying for him. This is what I do for your family in general and for you in particular.

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

. . . 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.

We must love our neighbor as being made in the image of God and as an object of His love.

Cast from your heart the bitterness.
