Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We dont remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We dont understand the great secrets hidden inside of us.

Do not dismayed daughters, at the number of things which you have to consider before setting out on this divine journey, which is the royal road to heaven. By taking this road we gain such precious treasures that it is no wonder if the cost seems to us a high one. The time will come when we shall realize that all we have paid has been nothing at all by comparison with the greatness of our prizes.

It is true that we cannot be free from sin, but at least let our sins not be always the same.

About the injunction of the Apostle Paul that women should keep silent in church? Don't go by one text only.

Prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.

(said of God):If this is the way you treat your friends, it's no wonder you have so few!

We know only that we are living in these bodies and have a vague idea, because we have heard it, and because our faith tells us so, that we possess souls. As to what good qualities there may be in our souls, or who dwells within them, or how precious they are, those are things which seldom consider and so we trouble little about carefully preserving the soul's beauty.

We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can -- namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.

Patient endurance attaineth to all things; who God possesseth in nothing is wanting; alone God sufficeth.

It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found -- not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater.
