You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
Ask, and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
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.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
