Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them.
He who is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he who is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he neither has rest himself, nor does he permit others to rest.
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
He who knows how to suffer will enjoy much peace, and he is a conqueror of himself, the lord of the world, the friend of Christ, and an heir of Heaven.
