“Finding God in All Things.”

God inclines to shower His graces upon us, but our perverted will is a barrier to His generosity.

Laugh and grow strong.

If anyone asks you for something that you believe would be injurious to him, refuse, but in such a manner as not to lose his good-will.

All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.

For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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.

Do not put faith in constant happiness, and fear most when all smiles upon you.

We ought even to hold as a fixed principle that what I see white I believe to be black, if the superior authorities define it to be so.

Spiritual infirmities such as tepidity are caused, not only by chills but also by fevers, that is, by excessive zeal.

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.

We may see the small value God has for riches, by the people he gives them to.

When God decides its time, I guess he’ll come for us.

The Lord helps those who help themselves.

A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants.

Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.

A bruised heart that chooses to beat with a passion for God amid pulsing pain and confusion may just be the most expensive offering placed on the divine altar.

I never knew any man in my life who could not bear another’s misfortunes perfectly like a Christian.

Sometimes we stand to learn the most about God from the situations we understand the least.
