No harm can come to me since, in whatever happens, I see only the tender hand of Jesus.

The sorrow which casts us down is the hurt to our self-love...To brood gloomily over our own imperfections paralyzes our soul.

In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.

It is good to serve God in darkness and trial! We have only this life to live by faith.

Since Jesus wants to sleep why will I hinder Him? I am only too happy that He doesn’t bother with me, for He is showing me that I am not a stranger when treating me this way, for I assure you, He is going to no trouble about carrying on a conversation with me!

Now I realize that true charity consists in putting up with all one’s neighbor’s faults, never being surprised by his weakness, and being inspired by the least of his virtues.

God stoops down to our nothingness and transforms that nothingness into fire.

We can lean on nothing but Our Lord, for He alone is immutable.

I understand very well why St. Peter fell. Poor Peter, he was relying upon himself instead of relying only upon God's strength...Before Peter fell, Our Lord said to him: 'And once you are converted, strengthen your brethren.' This means: Convince them of the weakness of human strength through your own experience.

Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender.

The Lord's will fills my heart to the brim, and if anything else is added it cannot penetrate to any depth, but like oil on the surface of water it glides easily across.

I assure you that God is much better than you believe. He is content with a glance, a sigh of love. As for me,
I find perfection very easy to practice because I have understood it as a matter of taking Jesus by His Heart.
