It is love alone that gives worth to all things

Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

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.

What value is there in faith without works? And what are they worth if they are not united to the merits of Jesus Christ, our only good?

To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience.

More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.
