I do not tremble when I see my weakness, for the treasures of a mother belong also to her child, and I am thy child, O dear Mother Mary.

I'd like to make souls understand that the Eucharist is heaven, given because "heaven is only a tabernacle without doors, a Eucharist without veils, a communion without end.

Oh my Lord, how certain it is that anyone who renders You some service soon pays with a great rial! And what a precious reward a trial is for those who truly love You if we could at once understand its value!

I see that my vocation is very great: to save souls, to give workers to the vineyard of Christ. In comparison with the value of one soul, all the sacrifices we make are small in comparison. God gave His life for them, and how we disregard their salvation.

The soul which has no other aim than the perfect observance of the law of God and the carrying of the cross of Christ will be a true ark, containing the true manna which is God.

Unlike our friends in the world, He will never abandon us when we are troubled or distressed. Blessed is the one who truly loves Him and always keeps Him near.

Merit does not consist in doing or giving much. It consists in loving much.

God enlightens the soul, making it see not only its misery and meanness, but also it's grandeur and majesty.

What offends Jesus, what wounds His Sacred Heart, is lack of confidence in Him.

As to the aridity you are suffering from, it seems to me our Lord is treating you like someone He considers strong: He wants to test you and see if you love Him as much at times of aridity as when He sends you consolations. I think this is a very great favor for God to show you.

I would like to fly as the eagle does, but I can only flutter my wings - it is beyond my feeble strength to soar.

God is hidden within the soul, and the true contemplative will seek Him there in love.
