“Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.”

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.

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.

Sin is the assassin of the soul.

The Devil writes down our sins – our Guardian Angel all our merits. Labor that the Guardian Angel’s book may be full, and the Devil’s empty.

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

I thought a time would come when people would rout me out of Ars with sticks, when the Bishop would suspend me, and I should end my days in prison. I see, however, that I am not worthy of such a grace.

Have you been working on Sunday? Have you been buying or selling without necessity in the course of this holy day? Give to the poor some alms which will exceed the profit you have made.

Memories -images and precious thoughts that shall not die and cannot be destroyed.

With the newspaper strike on, I wouldn’t consider dying.

I don’t know any more about the future than you do. I hope that it will be full of work, because I have come to know by experience that work is the nearest thing to happiness that I can find. I want a busy life, a just mind and a timely death.

Never scared of death, but I ain’t ready for that day to come.

If I die tomorrow I will not regret. I really did everything I could.

I’ve seen my own death in dreams like this and it’s helped me appreciate life more. I’ve also seen my own life in dreams and it’s helped me appreciate death more.

The biggest sin in Satanism is not murder, nor is it kindness. It is stupidity.

My pops passed when I was little. I didn’t have a dad around to tell me certain things. I didn’t have my biological mother.
