I will send a shower of roses.
Never stop wanting for your magic.
He does not call those who are worthy, but those whom He wills.
Jesus makes the bitterest mouthful taste sweet.
The good God would not inspire unattainable desires.
The science of loving, yes, that’s the only kind of science I want I’d barter away everything I possess to win it.
It has a supernatural grandeur which expands the soul and unites it with God. I say an Our Father or a Hail Mary when I feel so spiritually barren that I cannot summon up a single worth while thought. These two prayers fill me with rapture and feed and satisfy my soul.
In Heaven the good God will do all I wish, because I have never done my own will upon earth.
What a joy to remember that she is our Mother! Since she loves us and knows our weakness, what have we to fear?

Go often to Holy Communion. Go very often! This is your one remedy.
You must open a little, or rather raise on high your corolla so that the Bread of Angels may come as divine dew to strengthen you, and to give you all that is wanting to you.
I say nothing to him I love him.
The world’s thy ship and not thy home.

I have at last found my vocation; it is love!
Clearly we must not be attached to anything, no matter how innocent, because it will slip from our grasp when least expected; nothing but the eternal can content us.
My God, how good Thou art! How well dost Thou suit the trial to our strength!
My only consolation lies in not having any here below.
