He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.

Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.

He who labours, prays.

We cannot pass our guardian angel's bounds, resigned or sullen, he will hear our sighs.

The desire is thy prayers; and if thy desire is without ceasing, thy prayer will also be without ceasing. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer.

Man was created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord and in this way to save his soul. The other things on Earth were created for man's use, to help him reach the end for which he was created.
