Lenten fasts make me feel better, stronger, and more active than ever.

We must not wish anything other than what happens from moment to moment, all the while, however, exercising ourselves in goodness.

The one sole thing in myself in which I glory is that I see in myself nothing in which I can glory.

This I say, because God showed me somewhat of his truth, in order that I might know what man is without him that is, when the soul is found in mortal sin, at that time, it is so monstrous and horrible to behold, that it is impossible to imagine anything equally so.
