“Obedience to the will of God is the pathway to perpetual honor and everlasting joy.”

We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.

I have heard of some good old woman in a cottage, who had nothing but a piece of bread and a little water, and lifting up her hands, she said, as a blessing, What! all this, and Christ too?

It’s a good thing God chose me before I was born, because he surely would not have afterwards.

Do not go on His errands till first you have sat at His feet.

You will never know God’s strength until He has supported you in deep waters.

The best way to live above all fear of death is to die every morning before you leave your bedroom.

Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.

Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight, is his god.

God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.

When God places a burden upon you, He places His arms underneath you.

Death is no punishment to the believer: it is the gate of endless joy.

Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

My entire theology can be condensed into four words, ‘JESUS DIED FOR ME’.

The world’s one and only remedy is the cross.

No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.

God desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.

We must put aside all judgment of our own, and keep the mind ever ready and prompt to obey in all things the true Spouse of Christ our Lord, our holy Mother, the hierarchical Church.

You are encircled by the arms of the mystery of God.

God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.

When to give grace? I’d rather stand before God knowing I loved others too much rather than regretting that I judged too harshly.

We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear.

I use the words gods and goddesses principally, I think, to mean beautiful bodies – bodies that are absolute instruments. And I believe in discipline, I believe in a very definite technique.
