“You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to God.”

The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.

Prayer is the inner bath of love into which the soul plunges itself.

When we receive Holy Communion, we experience something extraordinary – a joy, a fragrance, a well-being that thrills the whole body and causes it to exalt.

Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.

Understand this clearly: if you know how to give, you must know how to pay back. . .

We ought to ask the Blessed Virgin, the angels, and the saints to pray for us that we may receive the good God as worthily as it is possible for us to receive him.

The first thing about the angels that we ought to imitate, is their consciousness of the Presence of God.

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.

Every choice we make has a lesson waiting for us.

I am torn between the obligation to sit still and the overwhelming urge to run.

When people are free to choose, they choose freedom.

You’re going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don’t do. You don’t get to choose to not pay a price. You get to choose which poison you’re going to take. That’s it.

Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice, he ascends.
