“All that we do without offering it to God is wasted.”

Oh, how I like those little mortifications that are seen by nobody, such as rising a quarter of an hour sooner, rising for a little while in the night to pray!

Shall we all be saved? Shall we go to Heaven? Alas, my children, we do not know at all! But I tremble when I see so many souls lost these days. See, they fall into Hell as leaves fall from the trees at the approach of winter.

Our Guardian Angels are our most faithful friends, because they are with us day and night, always and everywhere. We ought often to invoke them.

Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints – they are your public.

Only after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest; from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.

If you find it impossible to pray, hide behind your good Angel and charge him to pray in your stead.

A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind.

How happy is that guardian angel who accompanies a soul to Holy Mass!

We ought to run after crosses as the miser runs after money. . . Nothing but crosses will reassure us at the Day of Judgment When that day shall come, we shall be happy in our misfortunes, proud of our humiliations, and rich in our sacrifices!

You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to God.

See, my children, a person who is in a state of sin is always sad. Whatever he does, he is weary and disgusted with every thing; while he who is at peace with God is always happy, always joyous. . . Oh, beautiful life! Oh, beautiful death!

When the heart is pure and simple it cannot help loving, because it has discovered the source of love which is God.

On this path, it is only the first step that counts.

The man of impure speech is a person whose lips are but an opening and a supply pipe which hell uses to vomit its impurities upon the earth.

When our hands have touched spices, they give fragrance to all they handle. Let us make our prayers pass through the hands of the Blessed Virgin. She will make them fragrant.

It is always springtime in the heart that loves God.

You were made to hear God’s voice and know it well.

Sin has a way of shrinking God down and puffing ourselves up.

God likes His people to believe that there is nothing too hard for Him…We are all the time limiting God’s power by our own ideas. Let us get our eyes off one another and fix them upon God. There is nothing to hard for Him.

The stronger the ties that bind us to God, the more likely we are to live, react, and behave in harmony with…greater joy, peace, and happiness.

For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can’t hold any back.

Hold a little while longer. God is bringing clarity.

No one in the final analysis really fails to become a Christian because of lack of arguments; he fails to become a Christian because he loves darkness rather than light and wants nothing to do with God.

Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it.
