"Who can make me happier than God? I find all things in Him."
Always look for God. In Him is the source of all bliss. Apart from Him, happiness is impossible. God alone suffices... Men's hearts love one day and on the next they are indifferent. God alone never changes.
I shall take great pains to work for the happiness of others... My resolution: to sacrifice myself for others.... I must strive to be more loving.
A believing soul possesses all things because it possesses God... Everything changes when you look at this divine Sun... With faith, sufferings are transformed.
When you are in love, everything is a joy; the cross is no burden and you are unaffected by martyrdom; you live in heaven rather than on earth.
How your life would be transformed if you went to Jesus often as to your intimate friend!
Let us take notice of our neighbour and serve him, even though we find it repugnant to do so. In this way we will find that the throne of our heart will be occupied by its Owner, by God.
In the shadow of the Cross, all bitterness vanishes... Souls are shaped on the anvil of sorrows.
To lovingly offer ourselves to the Father in order to accomplish his adorable will. This I reckon is the plan of holiness.
God is thirsting for the love of His creatures. The same God is our beggar. Let us give ourselves to Him. Let us not be mean... Let us not look at what we are doing, but at the extent of our failure to correspond to His love.
Always take the Most Blessed Virgin as your model. Speak to her, heart to heart... Ask her to be your guide, to be your star, the lighthouse which shines in the midst of the darkness of your life.
