"If God is the center of your life, no words are necessary. Your mere presence will touch hearts."
"We should strive to keep our hearts open to the sufferings and wretchedness of other people, and pray continually that God may grant us that spirit of compassion which is truly the spirit of God."
"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."
