“Look at Him while He is looking at you.”

Perfect love means putting up with other peoples shortcomings, feeling no surprise at their weaknesses, finding encouragement even in the slightest evidence of good qualities in them.

I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.

Let us love, since our heart is made for nothing else.

When one loves, one does not calculate.

Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity.

It is love alone that counts.

What offends Him and what wounds His Heart is the lack of confidence…Your heart is made to love Jesus, to love Him passionately…We have only the short moments of our life to love Jesus!

I know now that true charity consists in bearing all our neighbors’defects–not being surprised at their weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues.

I am very far from practicing what I understand.

If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.

Sufferings gladly borne for others convert more people than sermons.

When we yield to discouragement it is usually because we give too much thought to the past and to the future.

Look at His adorable face. Look at His glazed and sunken eyes. Look at His wounds. Look Jesus in the Face. There, you will see how He loves us.

You cannot be half a saint; you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.

Trials help us detach ourselves from the earth; they make us look higher than this world.

Do not fear to tell Jesus that you love Him even without feeling it. That is the way to force Jesus to help you, to carry you like a little child too feeble to walk.

That wasn’t any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

God is near you, is with you, is inside you.

The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It’s your mind you have to convince.

Sometimes it can feel like we’ve lost time we can’t get back. But God knows how to restore you. He’s not just going to deliver you from the difficult season; He’s going to make up for the time you lost.

Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.

God never shuts one door without opening a bigger better door. Hang in there. You are closer to success than you may think.

Whenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist.
