How they came to disturb me after Communion! They stared me in the face... but in order not to be provoked, I thought of Our Lord, who retreated into solitude and was unable to prevent the people from following Him there. And He didn’t want to send them away. I wanted to imitate Him by receiving the Sisters kindly.

...it is not enough for me to give to the one who asks, I ought to anticipate the wish; I should show myself honored by the request for service, and if anything set apart for my use be taken away I should appear glad to be rid of it.

Just as a mother is proud of her children so we shall be proud of one another without the least trace of jealousy.

In heaven, there will be no looks of indifference, because all the saints owe so much to one another. No envious glances will be cast, because the happiness of each is the happiness of all.

We must serve our Lord; sow what is good around us without worrying about its growth. For us the labors; for Jesus, success!

God is compassionate and filled with gentleness, slow to punish and abundant in mercy, for He knows our frailty, He remembers we are dust.

We should never fear the battle when the good of our neighbor is involved.

If heavenly grace and true charity come in, there shall be no envy or narrowness of heart, nor shall self-love keep its hold. For divine charity overcomes all, and dilates all the powers of the soul.

...it is not enough for me to give to the one who asks, I ought to anticipate the wish; I should show myself honored by the request for service, and if anything set apart for my use be taken away I should appear glad to be rid of it.

If we want to live a life of love of God, we must not fail in our love towards our neighbor.

You do wrong to find fault, and to try to make everyone see things from your point of view. We desire to be as little children. Now, little children do not know what is best. Everything is right in their eyes. Let us imitate them.

Nothing is insignificant or negligible in the service of God.
