Spiritual Exercises Whereby To Conquer Oneself, And

He Who Goes About To Reform The World Must Begin With Himself, Or He Loses His Labor.

To Have Prevented One Single Sin Is Reward Enough For The Labors And Efforts Of A Whole Lifetime.

If You Attach Your Heart To Certain Places And Occupations, Obedience Oftentimes Places You In Some Other Place That You May Not Like; To Be Always Cheerful, Be Always Humble And Obedient.

In The Case Of Those Who Are Making Progress From Good To Better, The Good Angel Touches The Soul Gently, Lightly, Sweetly, As A Drop Of Water Enters A Sponge, While The Evil Spirit Touches It Sharply, With Noise And Disturbance, Like A Drop Of Water Falling On A Rock.

To Withdraw From Creatures And Repose With Jesus In The Tabernacle Is My Delight; There I Can Hide Myself And Seek Rest. There I Find A Life Which I Cannot Describe, A Joy Which I Cannot Make Others Comprehend, A Peace Such As Is Found Only Under The Hospitable Roof Of Our Best Friend.
