If you believe what you like in the gospel, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the gospel you believe but yourself
Everything, even sweeping, scraping vegetables, weeding a garden and waiting on the sick could be a prayer, if it were offered to God
Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife
Without the burden of afflictions, it is impossible to reach the height of grace. The gift of grace increases as the struggle increases
