If God is in us, and if God is love, it is inevitable that we be brothers; because love of our neighbor is the measure of our love for God.

Today there is a special need for the Baptism of spirit and fire. In the tremendous struggle between Christ and Lucifer, those who are called to instruct men constitute the vanguard. To arm ourselves for this struggle and to persevere always armed is our most urgent duty. "If salt loses its savor, with what will it be salted?"

Lay all your cares about the future trustingly in God's hands, and let yourself be guided by the Lord just like a little child...

The created will is not destined to be free to exalt itself. It is called to come into unison with the divine will. If it freely submits itself to this unison, then it is permitted in freedom to participate in the perfection of creation. If a free creature declines this unison, it lapses into bondage.

These times in which all structures of life on earth are tottering and changing, are also a period of struggle over eternal questions.  Ardently, we seek God, we strive for intensification and revival...we have a desire to live totally out of faith, to place ourselves completely at the service of the Lord.

Have patience with yourself, the Lord does.

I am convinced that God does not call anyone solely for Himself, and moreover when He is pleased to accept the offering of a soul He is prodigal of demonstrations of love.

O Lord, give me all that leads me to You. O Lord, take everything that diverts me from You. O Lord, wrest me from myself and give me wholly to You.

The title of Mary as our mother is not merely symbolic. Mary is our mother in the most real and lofty sense, a sense which surpasses that of earthly maternity. She begot our life of grace for us because she offered up her entire being, body and soul, as the Mother of God. That is why an intimate bond exists between Mary and ourselves.

Looking at things from God's viewpoint there is no such thing as chance; my whole life, down to the last detail, is traced in the plan of divine Providence and, to the all seeing eyes of God, constitutes a perfectly intelligible whole.

Be careful never to waste an occasion for mortification by complaining.

God is love, and love is goodness giving itself away.
