"In Heaven, a great Love awaits you"
I am every day more convinced that happiness in Heaven is for those who know how to be happy on earth. (The Forge, 1005)
“Don’t be afraid to know your real self”
I have no need of miracles: there are more than enough for me in the Gospel. But I do need to see you fulfilling your duty and responding to grace. (The Way, 362)
“If you see your way clearly, follow it”
Why don't you give yourself to God once and for all... really..., now? (The Way, 902)
“I am with him in the time of trial”
Everything may collapse and fail. Events may turn out contrary to what was expected and great adversity may come. But nothing is to be gained by being perturbed. Furthermore, remember the confident prayer of the prophet: "The Lord is our judge, the Lord gives us our laws, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us." Say it devoutly every day, so that your behaviour may agree with the designs of Providence, which governs us for our own good. (Furrow, 855)
“The richness of our faith”
Don't be a pessimist. Don’t you realize that all that happens or can happen is for the best?—Your optimism will be a necessary consequence of your faith. (The Way, 378)
