Writings

My prayer is as precious, holy, and pleasing to God as that of St. Paul or of the most holy saints.

God wishes to remove the root and source of this bitterness toward our neighbor.

All our shelter and protection rest in prayer alone.

Marriage is not an exceptional estate, but the most universal and noblest.

Since in this prayer we call God our Father, it is our duty always to deport and conduct ourselves as godly children.

If we look at mankind in all its conditions, it is nothing but a vast, wide stable full of great thieves.

Honor and good name are easily taken away, but not easily restored.

How can water, eating and drinking do such great things?

Such is nature that we all begrudge another’s having as much as we have.

God knows how to speak of Himself.
