"Charity is the cement which binds Communities to God and persons to one another . . ."
"I thank God that you know the art of tearing yourself apart - I mean the way to humble yourself truly by recognizing and realizing your faults. You are right in believing yourself to be as you describe and to be most unsuitable for any kind of duty; it is on this foundation that Our Lord will base the execution of His plans for you."

"We should spend as much time in thanking God for his benefits as we do in asking him for them."
"The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility. For, as he does not know at all how to employ it, neither does he know how to defend himself from it."
"We must love our neighbor as being made in the image of God and as an object of His love."
