Whosoever comes to it in piety, faith and humility, and with determination to make progress in it, will assuredly find therein and will eat the "Bread that cometh down from heaven"

Many people mistake the work for the vocation. The vocation is not the work. The vocation is to belong to Jesus.

So we pray with Mary, sanctuary of the Holy Spirit, a most precious dwelling-place of Christ among us, so that she may help us to be living temples of the Spirit and tireless witnesses of the Gospel.

God has created me to do him some definite service; he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission - I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next... I have a part in a great work; I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons...

Be not afraid!

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.

Fly from bad companions as from the bite of a poisonous snake. If you keep good companions, I can assure you that you will one day rejoice with the blessed in Heaven; whereas if you keep with those who are bad, you will become bad yourself, and you will be in danger of losing your soul.

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

The greatest of all is that he has shown me my littleness and how, of myself, I am incapable of anything good.

Even where the difficulties are so great as to lead to discouragement and the power of evil so overwhelming as to dishearten, those who can rediscover the simplicity of a child can begin to hope anew.

Extend your mercy towards others, so that there can be no one in need whom you meet without helping. For what hope is there for us if God should withdraw His Mercy from us?

God loves you, but even more - He longs for you. He misses you when you don’t come close. He thirsts for you. Only open your heart to be loved by Him as you are. He will do the rest.

A man who fails to love the Mass fails to love Christ. We must make an effort to "live" the Mass with calm and serenity, with devotion and affection.

From Mary we learn to surrender to God's Will in all things. From Mary we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone. From Mary we learn to love Christ her Son and the Son of God!

O Mary, you are so anxious to help us that you are hurt when we do not ask you for graces.

The cross is never found in a beautiful room, but in Calvary. Those who want to belong to Jesus have to feel happy to walk with Him. No matter how painful it is, we have to share His passion.

Run from places of sin as from the plague.

Be careful never to be discouraged when you are surrounded by spiritual infirmities. If God allows you to fall in some weakness it is not to abandon you, but only to establish you in humility and make you more careful in the future.

Anger is a weed; hate is the tree.

Forgive others everything; yourself, nothing.
