 Let us  be  at  peace  with  God  by  love,  with our neighbor  by  patience,  with  ourselves  by mortification.

When we  are  where  God  wills,  He  knows where to  find  us.

A perfect  act  of  conformity  to  the  will  of  God, at the  moment  of  death,  not  only  sets  the  soul free from  Hell,  but  even  from  Purgatory. ''(Louis de Blois.)

The virtue  of  poverty  consists  not  only  in  the privation of  earthly  goods  but  in  the  love  of this  privation. '' (St. Bernard.)

Sweetness and  consolation  are  more  likely  to nourish  pride  than  divine  love. ''(Nepveu.)

The true  love  of  God  is  not  always  that  which is felt  and  is  delightful  to  us;  but  that  which humbles and  disengages  us  from  ourselves  and from creatures. ''(Fenelon.)

Attachment even  to  good  things  is  hurtful. ''(St. Liguori  )

Our blessed  Saviour  descended  into  the  womb of His  holy  Mother  during  the  silence  of  night; He enters  our  hearts  and  takes  possession  of them,  when  He  finds  them  peaceful  and  in silence.
