We can do this much; endeavor to conform ourselves to Christ Crucified.

All things count for nothing when it is a matter of acquiring true love of God.

Love suffers neither delay nor repose, being always eager to suffer for the Beloved.

If we hope to find God, the road is sure; we must acquire humility of heart and a simple spirit, remembering that only those who fight gain the victory. Bust courage, we shall not lack grace nor help from the Heart of God who wishes us all to be saints.

Those who seek to please God without reservation, at all times and in every situation, draw upon themselves the divine gaze and receive from the Sacred Heart of Jesus the greatest affection and care.

O you who do not dare draw near to Him, make the test and prove how good and generous is our most loving God!

By entering Carmel you undertook to reproduce in yourself the life of the Crucified.

One ought to be careful not to devote oneself wholly and with too much solicitude to exterior occupations, to which it is expedient only to lend oneself as much as is necessary, keeping the rest (namely the mind and heart) for God.

We are in the hands of our good God and Father of all consolation; all that He permits will turn to our greater good, although now we do not understand it.

It is a great thing that our good Jesus, even though He is glorious at the right hand of His Father, takes on Himself our most vile miseries and deigns to intercede continually for us.

All the things that God disposes are as so many steps of that mysterious stairway that leads us to the eternal possession of our much desired end (eternal life). For this let us accept everything with indifference from the hand of God, and we shall be happy.

If we live and move in God, it does not seem to me that His company and His love can hinder us from moving and working externally.
