“We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.”

Do you know when people really become spiritual? It is when they become the slaves of God and are branded with His sign, which is the sign of the Cross, in token that they have given Him their freedom.

From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.

Let us live in such a way as not to be afraid to die.

The closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.

Love makes labour light. Love alone gives value to all things.

Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.

Love turns work into rest.

It is a great folly to be willing to violate the friendship of God, rather than the law of human friendship.

It is not a matter of thinking a great deal but of loving a great deal, so do whatever arouses you most to love.

Don’t imagine that, if you had a great deal of time, you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea; it is no hindrance to prayer to spend your time well.

Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

It is of great importance, when we begin to practise prayer, not to let ourselves be frightened by our own thoughts.

This body of ours has one fault: the more you indulge it, the more things it discovers to be essential to it. It is extraordinary how it likes being indulged.

But the fact is, things always seem to come slowly when you are longing for them.

If this is the way You treat Your friends, no wonder You have so few!

After you die, you wear what you are.

God specializes in giving people a fresh start.

To allow God to be God we must follow Him for who He is and what He intends, and not for what we want and what we prefer.

Do you think God can be trusted? Or do yo think you need to take things into your own hands?

I may not practice what I preach but God forbid I should preach what I practice

God doesn’t intend for you to handle all the pain and stress in your life by yourself. We were wired for each other. We need each other.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He’s working on you, too.

Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.

Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God’s favor.
