Among us there is no place for the lukewarm. Humble yourself, and Christ will kindle in you again the fire of love.
Be united to Christ in order to purify yourself, and together with him experience the insults, the spit, the blows and the thorns....
Conversion is a matter of a moment. Sanctification is the work of a lifetime.
Don’t be afraid of the truth, even though the truth may mean your death.
Don’t judge without having heard both sides. Even persons who think themselves virtuous very easily forget this elementary rule of prudence.
Holy steadfastness is not intolerance.
Let us not forget that unity is a symptom of life; disunion is decay, a sure sign of being a corpse.
Suffering overwhelms you because you take it like a coward. Meet it bravely, with a Christian spirit, and you will esteem it like a treasure.
When a man yields in matters of ideals, of honor, or of faith, that man is without ideals, without honor, and without faith.
