“He who has heard the Word of God can bear his silences.”

God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will, and to do it fully.

To have prevented one single sin is reward enough for the labors and efforts of a whole lifetime.

Truth always ends by victory; it is not unassailable, but invincible.

You have given it all to me. To you, Lord, I return it. Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and grace. That is enough for me.

Teach us, Good Lord, to give and not count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and not to ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do thy will.

Considering that the blessed life we so long for consists in an intimate and true love of God Our Creator and Lord, which binds and obliges us all to a sincere love.

The more completely we focus our attention on our Creator and Lord, the less chance there is of our being distracted by creatures.

We should not have a petty regard for God’s gifts, though we may and should despise our own imperfections.

If one fears men much he will never do anything great for God: all that one does for God arouses persecution.

Idleness is hells fishhook for catching souls.

Among the many signs of a lively faith and hope we have in eternal life, one of the surest is not being overly sad at the death of those whom we dearly love in our Lord.

God our Lord would have us look to the Giver and love Him more than His gift, keeping Him always before our eyes, in our hearts, and in our thoughts.

A person with imprecise ideas can understand little and be of less help to others.

To conquer himself is the greatest victory that man can gain.

Let your modesty be a sufficient incitement, yea, an exhortation to everyone to be at peace on their merely looking at you.

He who carries God in his heart bears Heaven with him wherever he goes.

Finding God in All Things.

I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I’ve been closer to him for that reason.

You have the exact qualities God knew your kids would need in a mother. Each day, hold up your willingness and ask God to make you the best version of you that you can possibly be.

Sometimes we need to get over ourselves and actually realize that sometimes, God has a better plan. God’s ways are higher than ours.

There are three great truths, 1st, That there is a God; 2nd, That He has spoken to us in the Bible; 3rd, That He means what He says.

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 we are faithful to God in little things, we shall gain experience and strength that will be helpful to us in the more serious trials of life.

Thank God for such women, who make no apologies for their oceanic depth and riptides of emotion.
