“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.”

We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides.

No idle word should be uttered. I understand a word to be idle when it serves no good purpose, either for myself or for another, and was not intended to do so.

Discouragement is not from God.

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.

God is using your present circumstances to make you more useful for later roles in His unfolding story.

Simply by our proximity to Jesus, we can bring hope and life to people and places trapped in discouragement and despair.

The wonderful living Word of God is more precious than anything else that we have.

God transforms us one area at a time.

Only God is able to humble us without humiliating us and to exalt us without flattering us.

Faithfully carry what God has put in your hands right now. This is God’s will.

God is unchanging in His love. He loves you. He has a plan for your life. Don’t let the newspaper headlines frighten you. God is still sovereign; He’s still on the throne.

God wants to do immeasurably more in & through your life than you could ask.
