Time is like loose change. it is given to us here below to buy the real things of eternity. Let us use it and teach others, too , to use it well.

Numbers as such do not  glorify God; they do not matter. Do what you can, give of your best even if only a few profit.

03. DECEMBER

Be direct above all ... directness with God, with everyone, with yourself. do you hear ? I said " With yourself "

04.DECEMBER

Gentleness is a necessity for us and we do not remain serene and peaceful unless we have real virtue.

People who don't fuss, who go on faithfully, seem at a casual glance to be accomplishing less, but in reality grace is using them far more easily

We live in an age when priests are few and it is we who have to replace the missing ones. Fill yourself with zeal for religious teaching and the truth of God.

12. DECEMBER

It is the prayerful lives and self-immolation of religious that obtain the peace and tranquility of nations, the calm happiness of families, and a spirit of content among people.

13. DECEMBER

We must devote ourselves without ceasing to all the interests of Holy Church, and take to heart in a practical way whatever concerns the glory of God.

16. DECEMBER

Our Lord said," go teach all nations," so our zeal ought to be wider than the universe

17. DECEMBER

Don't make the mistake of thinking that true devotion consists in having a relish for prayer. The opposite is true.

18. DECEMBER

Days filled with the cross are capital days for heaven ... Only the cross will make you advance, so expect it then !

19. DECEMBER

You can't use the same methods every time, they work on the first occasion and  fail on the next hundred. You have to vary them.

Time is short, evening will soon overtake us , so don't let us set any limits to our generosity towards God.

22. DECEMBER

More than ever I see the need for strong, brave, generous souls who are afraid of nothing on this earth execpt sin and displeasing God.

23. DECEMBER

Gentleness is necessary for us and we do not remain serene and peaceful unless we have real virtue. We must have the strength of Christian sweetness.

Peace is so precious a treasure that it cannot be bought at too dear a price. to preserve it, let us sacrifice our personal views.

28. DECEMBER

With courage and love, even those who are weakest can follow the path god has marked out for us.

29. DECEMBER

God is always faithful to his promises. He has promised to be with us in our trials if we place all our confidence in Him
