Yes, ... Jesus is there with His Cross! Privileged one of His love, He wills to make you like Him! Why be frightened at not being able to carry this cross without weakening?

I beg you not to remain any longer at the feet of Jesus but to follow that first impulse that would carry you into His arms.

You are the true peace of the heart, You are its only rest; outside of You all things are hard and uneasy.

To live by love is to banish all fear, all remembrance of past faults.

Jesus wishes to receive charity from us like a poor man…He wishes to take nothing from us unless we give it freely, and our least gift is precious in His sight.

It is enough to humble ourselves to bear patiently our imperfections. There lies true sanctity for us.

He reaches out His hand to us,the very moment He sees us fully convinced of our nothingness, and hears us cry out: My foot stumbles Lord, but Your mercy is my strength (Ps. 93: 18). Should we attempt great things, however, even under pretext of zeal, He deserts us. So all we have to do is to humble ourselves, to bear with meekness our imperfections. Herein lies-for us -true holiness.

For years I have not belonged to myself, I have surrendered myself wholly to Jesus, and He is free to do with me whatsoever He pleases.

We can never have too much confidence in our God who is so mighty and so merciful. As we hope in Him so shall we receive.

Do not think we can find love without suffering, for our nature remains and must be taken into account; but suffering puts great treasures within our reach. Indeed it is our very livelihood and so precious that Jesus came down upon earth on purpose to possess it.

Trials help greatly to detach us from earth. They make us look to God, rather than to this world.

Oh, what annoying company we are to ourselves when Jesus is not present...but...He is not far away. He is right there, quite near and looking at us. Indeed, He is there begging us to offer Him our sorrow.
