Why should we defend ourselves when we are misunderstood and misjudged? Let us leave that aside. Let us not say anything...O blessed silence, which gives so much peace to the soul.

Take heart, Jesus hears even the last echo of our pain.

In judging others a man labors in vain, often errs, and easily sins: but in judging and in looking into himself, he always labors with fruit.

Perhaps all the graces that I have received in abundance have come to me through the prayers of some little soul whom I shall know only in heaven!

Jesus is a hidden treasure which few souls can find, for it is hidden and the world loves what sparkles.

Very often God is satisfied with our wish to labor for his glory, and how immense are my desires to do so.

Learn, for the Creator's sake, to overcome yourself in all things; and then you will be able to attain to the knowledge of God.

If through feebleness I sometimes fall, may Your divine glance purify my soul, consuming all my imperfections, like the fire that transforms everything into itself.

Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity.

Jesus prefers leaving me in darkness to giving me a false light which would not be Himself.

Oh Jesus, I feel that if You found a soul feebler than mine- though that's impossible- You would delight in heaping even greater favors on it, if it abandoned itself with supreme confidence to Your infinite mercy.

Lord, if you tell me to love others just as You love them, then You must love them in me and through me. So the closer my union with You, the more I love all my sisters without distinction.
