The burden of life is from ourselves, its lightness from the grace of Christ and the love of God.

The least known among the virtues and also the most misunderstood is the virtue of humility. Yet, it is the very groundwork of Christianity. Humility is a grace of the soul that cannot be expressed in words and is only known by experience. It is an unspeakable treasure of God, and only can be called the gift of God. Learn, He said, not from angels, not from men, not from books; but learn from My presence, light, and action within you, that I am meek and humble of heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.

Whatever a man seeks, honors, or exalts more than God is the god of his idolatry.

Nothing in this world is so marvelous as the transformation that a soul undergoes when the light of faith descends upon the light of reason.

Be aware of anxiety. Next to sin, thee is nothing that so troubles the mind, stains the heart, distresses the soul, and confuses the judgment.
