\u201cPray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless.
God is merciful and will hear your prayer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It would be easier for the world to exist without the sun
than without the Holy Mass”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Kneel down and render the tribute of your presence and devotion
to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Confide all your needs to him,
along with those of others.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self;
there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection
except at the price of pain\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The best means of guarding yourself against temptation are the following:
watch your senses to save them from dangerous temptation, avoid vanity,
do not let your heart become exalted, convince yourself of the evil
of complacency, flee away from hate, Pray whenever possible.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
