Let us be at peace with God by love, with our neighbor by patience, with ourselves by mortification.

When we are where God wills, He knows where to find us.

A perfect act of conformity to the will of God, at the moment of death, not only sets the soul free from Hell, but even from Purgatory. (Louis de Blois.)

The virtue of poverty consists not only in the privation of earthly goods but in the love of this privation. (St. Bernard.)

Sweetness and consolation are more likely to nourish pride than divine love. (Nepveu.)

The true love of God is not always that which is felt and is delightful to us; but that which humbles and disengages us from ourselves and from creatures. (Fenelon.)

Attachment even to good things is hurtful. (St. Liguori )

Our blessed Saviour descended into the womb of His holy Mother during the silence of night; He enters our hearts and takes possession of them, when He finds them peaceful and in silence.
