I’m suffering very much, but am I suffering very well? That’s the point!
Life is only a dream: soon, we shall awaken. And what joy! The greater our sufferings, the more limitless our glory. Oh! do not let us waste the trial Jesus sends.
My vocation, at last I have found it; my vocation is love.
Let us rise above the things that pass away. Up above, the air is so pure. Jesus can hide Himself but we will find Him there.
For me to love you, Jesus, as you love me, I would have to borrow your own love and then only would I be at rest.
No harm can come to me since, in whatever happens, I see only the tender hand of Jesus.
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?
The morrow of this day will be eternity; then Jesus will return you a hundred fold the lovely, rightful joys that you are sacrificing for him.
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 am convinced that one should tell one’s spiritual director if one has a great desire for Communion, for Our Lord does not come from Heaven every day to stay in a golden ciborium; He comes to find another heaven, the heaven of our soul in which He loves to dwell.
Do not fear to tell Jesus that you love Him even without feeling it. That is the way to force Jesus to help you, to carry you like a little child too feeble to walk.
