The Spirit of God had been pleased to engrave on the heart of this holy
priest all that he was to know and to teach to others; and it was the more
deeply engraved, as that heart was the more pure, the more detached, and
empty of the vain science of men; like a clean and polished block of marble,
ready for the tool of the sculptor.
“This earth is a bridge to cross the water; it serves only to support our
steps.…We are in this world, but we are not of this world, since we say
every day, ‘Our Father, Who art in Heaven,’ We must wait, then, for our
reward till we are at home, in our Father’s house. This is the reason why
good Christians suffer crosses, contradictions, adversities, contempt,
calumnies—so much the better!"
"The Sign of the Cross is formidable to the devil, because by the Cross
we escape from him. We should make the Sign of the Cross with great
respect. We begin with the forehead: it is the head, creation—the Father;
then the heart: love, life, redemption—the Son; then the shoulders: strength
—the Holy Ghost. Everything reminds us of the Cross. We ourselves are
made in the form of a cross. In Heaven we shall be nourished by the breath
of God."
"He who has preserved his baptismal innocence is like a child who has
never disobeyed his father.…One who has kept his innocence feels himself
lifted up on high by love, as a bird is carried up by its wings. Those who
have pure souls are like eagles and swallows, which fly in the air."
