When we receive with an entire and perfect resignation the afflictions which God sends us they become for us favors and benefits; because conformity to the will of God is a gain far superior to all temporal advantages.

So, we pray well when we remain in this way in the presence of God, with no exertion of the understanding or will. Therefore, you will do well to listen to God in the urge you feel to return to us.

There are good, God-fearing persons who still fall into certain faults, and it is better to bear with them than to be hard on them.

He is greatly honored by the time we take to weigh with mature deliberation matters having to do with his service, as are all those with which we deal.

Indeed, good is not good if one does not suffer in doing it.

There is no act of charity that is not accompanied by justice or that permits us to do more than we reasonably can.

The angels would become incarnate if they could, so that they might come to earth to imitate the example and virtues of the Son of God!
