“When we have been to Holy Communion, the balm of love envelops the soul as the flower envelops the bee.”

God commands you to pray, but forbids you to worry.

Christian wife! Follow in the footsteps of the ideal of all womanhood, the Blessed Mother of God; in joy and in sorrow, she will be your advocate at the throne of her Son.

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. . .

How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross!

To serve the Queen of Heaven is already to reign there, and to live under her commands is more than to govern.

The virtue of obedience makes the will supple… It inspires the courage with which to fulfill the most difficult tasks.

If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven.

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.

If you invoke the Blessed Virgin when you are tempted, she will come at once to your help, and Satan will leave you.

There is nothing so great as the Eucharist. If God had something more precious, He would have given it to us.

The Lord is more anxious to forgive our sins than a woman is to carry her baby out of a burning building.

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

It is something like the way dame Nature gathers round a foreign body an envelope of some insensitive tissue which can protect from evil that which it would otherwise harm by contact.

The social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance which envelope our future.

The writer has to choose the right words to express his sentences, and then, once he has sealed the envelope, he has to place those thoughts in the hands of someone else,

I feel like if people are going to go to the effort to get a stamp and, you know, put it on an envelope that, you know, it’s a big effort these days. So I often write back.

Female performers have been doing this for years – pushing the envelope about sexuality – and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out.

When we try to push the envelope, there are certain sectors of society that say this is a Zionist plot to sort of destabilize our country, or this is an American agenda.

It is clearly evident that most events of a widespread nature draw their causes from the enveloping heavens.
