The desire to stand out or excel is natural to a creature.  But if we would reflect on it, what purpose do those social triumphs serve?  They disappear between night and morning.  ...the only thing that is worthwhile here on earth is whatever brings us closer to God.

Ask the Most Holy Virgin to be your guide, to be your star, the lamp that shines in the midst of the darkness of your life.

Our Lord thirsts for our love. He suffered from Bethlehem to Calvary and forged chains by which to live in the tabernacle together with us. Don't we have a little love for this Divine Beggar?

I only follow His counsels regarding mortification, and I made the resolution to deny myself in all things. I only mortify my will.

When you are suffering or when you are feeling lonely...then take comfort in the fact that Jesus is with you and sees you suffering.

In seeing You(Mary) so pure, so tender, and so compassionate, who would not be encouraged to unburden his intimate sufferings to you? Who would not ask you to be his star on this stormy see? Who is there who would not cry in your arms without instantly receiving your immaculate kisses of love and comfort?

God thirsts for the love of His creatures. God Himself is our beggar. Let's give ourselves to Him. Let's not be stingy, because God is entirely goodness and generosity towards us.

Are you perhaps afraid that the abyss of the greatness of God and that of your nothingness cannot be united? There is love in him. His passionate love made him take flesh in order that by seeing a Man-God, we would not be afraid to draw near him.
