Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves – on God’s grace and on our will to be holy.
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary.
It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.
My secret is simple – I pray.
Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.
I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you will trust God.
One truly must have suffered oneself to help others.
At the hour of death when we come face-to-face with God, we are going to be judged on love; not how much we have done, but how much love we put into the doing.
But still, everything is for Jesus; so like that everything is beautiful, even though it is difficult.
Why can’t there be love that never gets tired?
Each of us is merely a small instrument; all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
In loving one another through our works we bring an increase of grace and a growth in divine love.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
Success will win you false friends and true enemies – succeed anyway.
Cheerfulness is a sign of a generous and mortified person who forgetting all things, even herself, tries to please her God in all she does for souls. Cheerfulness is often a cloak which hides a life of sacrifice and a continual union with God.
She knows how to suffer and at the same time how to laugh.
The very fact that God has placed a certain soul in our way is a sign that God wants us to do something for him or her. It is not chance; it has been planned by God. We are bound by conscience to help him or her.
There is thing you can do but I can not and there is thing I can but you can not; so let us make something beautiful together.
I fear just one thing : Money! Greed was what motivated Judas to sell Jesus.
Faith is a gift from God and he gives it to whomever he chooses.
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love through meditation, spirit of prayer, and sacrifice, by an intense inner life.
