“The higher we go, the better we
shall hear the voice of Christ.”
“I urge you with all the strength
of my soul to approach the Eucharist Table as often as possible. Feed on this
Bread of the Angels from which you will draw the strength to fight inner
struggles.”
“Jesus is with me. I have nothing
to fear.”
“By drawing closer to the poor,
little by little we become their confidants and counselors in the worst moments
of this earthly pilgrimage. We can give them the comforting words of faith and
often we succeed, not by our own merit, in putting on the right road people who
have strayed without meaning to.”
“To live without faith, without a
heritage to defend, without battling constantly for truth, is not to live but
to ‘get along’; we must never just ‘get along.’”
“Modern society is drowning in
the sorrows of human passions and it is distancing itself from every ideal of
love and peace. Catholics, we and you, must bring the breath of goodness that
can only spring from faith in Christ.”
“You ask me whether I am in good
spirits. How could I not be, so long as my trust in God gives me strength. We
must always be cheerful. Sadness should be banished from all Christian souls.
For suffering is a far different thing from sadness, which is the worst disease
of all. It is almost always caused by lack of Faith. But the purpose for which
we have been created shows us the path along which we should go, perhaps strewn
with many thorns, but not a sad path. Even in the midst of intense suffering it
is one of joy.”
“God gives us health so that we
may serve the sick.”
“Suffering that is nourished by
the flame of faith becomes something beautiful, because it tempers the soul to
deal with suffering.”
“Foolish is he who follows the
pleasures of this world, because these are always fleeting and bring much pain.
The only true pleasure is that which comes to us through faith.”
