Let us live together in great charity and friendliness.
Doing good is not everything; we have to do it well, after the example of Our Lord.
Doing good is not everything; we have to do it well, after the example of Our Lord.
Do you think you will become more capable of drawing near to God by withdrawing from Him than you will by approaching him?
Do whatever God asks of you and remain at peace; above all, love and support one another in Our Lord.
Do we have the happiness of having God as our Master, with the result that His virtues find no resistance in us?
Do not let yourself get carried away by the impetuosity of your impulsive ideas.
Do not be constrained by the majority opinion. Choose the one that seems best to you, or your own, provided you give an account of this.
Do not be afraid of undertaking too much of what you can do without coming and going; but fear only the thought of doing more than you are doing and more than God is giving you the means to do.
Do not be afraid of announcing Christian truths to the people with the simplicity of the Gospel.
Do not be afraid and let us not be in a hurry.
Divine Goodness to be pleased to remedy them and to send good workers into His vineyard.
Despite our knowledge of the beauty and the holiness of humility, we still allow ourselves to get carried away by the violence of pride.
Desires that come from God are gentle and leave the soul at peace; whereas inspirations of the evil spirit are, on the contrary, harsh and troubling to the person who has them.
Delay has not spoiled anything up until now, and I hope it will spoil nothing in the future.
Courage, let us be steadfast for now that we are priests, we are obliged to greater perfection and to be of greater assistance to souls.
Courage gentlemen! It is God Himself who has established you in the place and duty where you are. If His glory is your goal, what can you fear, or rather, for what should you not hope.
Continue to prefer embarrassment to praise, to mistrust yourself always, and to surrender yourself to God.
Continue to offer God your work and to raise your heart to Him, asking Him to bless you and telling Him that you want to be faithful to Him always.
Continue to give God all the affection of your heart, the applications of your mind, and the work of your hands.
Continue always to be a consolation and relief to everyone for the love of Our Lord; by this means you will make yourself very pleasing to Him.
Consider Our Lord close by you and within you, ready to put His hand to the work as soon as you call upon Him for help.
Consider before God whether the aversions some persons have toward the vows do not spring from human nature, which is always seeking freedom.
Conscience urges me to limit myself to what I can do and to honor the omnipotence of God by recognition of my own powerlessness.
Charity toward the neighbor is an infallible sign of the true children of God.
Charity is the paradise of communities and the soul of the virtues and it is humility that attracts and preserves them.
Charity is the cement that binds communities to God and persons to one another.
Charity finds everything good.
Charity converts necessity into virtue by acquiescing to God’s good pleasure in all the afflictions we inevitably suffer.
What food is to the body, prayer is to the soul, if persons were satisfied with taking a meal every three to four days, they would soon grow weak. . . they would be very weary, incapable of making any useful effort, and at last would have a body without strength or vigor. Soul not nourished by prayer becomes tired, weary, without strength, courage or power, a source of annoyance to others and unbearable to itself.
