“If we practice love of neighbor with great perfection, we will have done everything.”

How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer.

All blessings come to us through our Lord. He will teach us, for in beholding His life we find that He is the best example.

Don’t be curious of matters that don’t concern you; never speak of them, and don’t ask about them.

There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.

We may speak of love and humility as the true flowers of spiritual growth; and they give off a wonderful scent, which benefits all those who come near.

If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend.

Be kind to all and severe to thyself.

Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.

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.

There seem to me a great many blessings which come from true poverty and I should be sorry to be deprived of them.

Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.

Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We don’t remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We don’t understand the great secrets hidden inside of us.

Let nothing disturb thee, let nothing affright thee. All things are passing. Patience obtains all things. He who has God has everything – God alone suffices.

If you fall sometimes, you must not be discouraged.

What a great favor God does to those He places in the company of good people!

Greatness begins beyond your comfort zone.

The present is great with the future.

It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.

Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.

I have lived a great life. I am very happy.

Great love isn’t two people finding the perfect match in one another. Great love is two people making the choice to be a match.

You, God, made yourself lowly and small to make us great!

I realized that to become a saint one must suffer a great deal, always seek what is best, and forget oneself.
