“Christ moves along the pots and pans.”

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

For pity’s sake, don’t start meeting troubles halfway.

He who has God finds he is lacking nothing.

Much more is accomplished by a single word of the Our Father said, now and then, from our heart, than by the whole prayer repeated many times in haste and without attention.

You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.

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.

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.

True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God’s fidelity to His Promises.

I often think that God must have been looking for someone small enough and weak enough for Him to use, and that He found me.

Pray as if God will take care of all; act as if all is up to you.

All the gods, all the heavens, all the hells, are within you.

Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.

The moment you start complaining, you are already not taking into consideration all the good things Allah [God] has given you.

God does not call us to be successful, but to be obedient.

The followers of Jesus did not die for what they believed – they died for what they claim to have seen.
