In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human success, but rather on how much we have loved.
The road is narrow. He who wishes to travel it more easily must cast off all things and use the cross as his cane. In other words, he must be truly resolved to suffer willingly for the love of God in all things.

Faith is the union of God and the soul.
