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.

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.

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

It is love alone that gives worth to all things

May God protect me from gloomy saints.
