You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime, nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant, nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth ; because love is born of God, nor can it rest upon created things, but only in God
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
He who knows how to suffer will enjoy much peace, and he is a conqueror of himself, the lord of the world, the friend of Christ, and an heir of Heaven.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
