Jesus loves hidden souls. A hidden flower is the most fragrant. I must strive to make the interior of my soul a resting place for the Heart of Jesus.

Suffering is the greatest treasure on earth; it purifies the soul. In suffering, we learn who our true friend is.

Truth wears a crown of thorns

Some day, we will know the value of suffering, but then we will no longer be able to suffer.

If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of Holy Communion, and the other is suffering.

The Holy Spirit does not speak to a soul that is distracted and garrulous. He speaks by His quiet inspirations to a soul that is recollected, to a soul that knows how to keep silence.
