New Advent Entry: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06221a.htm

Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.

For it is in giving that we receive.

Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.

It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.

Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.

No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.

Where there is injury let me sow pardon.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
