The knowledge possessed by a soul faithful to its obligations, quietly submissive to the intimate orders of grace, gentle and humble towards all, is worth more than the most profound penetration of mysteries.

The freedom and joy of friendship is what we were made for. 

As I feel a great attraction toward prayer I asked God, by Our Lady's intercession, to give me the grace to go on increasing in love of this holy exercise until my death.

Evidently, love must begin with looking for the good news in the other.

Faith is God's interpreter.

There is not a moment in which God is not present with us under the cover of some pain to be endured, some obligation or some duty to be performed, or some consolation to be enjoyed.

The small, hidden, anonymous God I found in the Gospels appealed to me deeply.

Jesus asks his disciples to exercise authority like a child or a servant.

In our relationship with Christ each of us must resolve one great problem.

The prayer I've probably spoke about most frequently is: "Thy will be done."
