GRM 31.9
Obedience always saves you. Remember that.
GRM 31.10
To save a soul is to predestine one’s own soul to Heaven. But to save the soul of a priest is to save a large number of souls, because every holy priest is a net that drags souls to God. And to save a priest, that is to sanctify: re-sanctify, is to create this mystical net. Each prey is a light to be added to your eternal crown.
GRM 32.7
The Spirit of God can thunder if It wants, and rouse like a thunderbolt and shake like an earthquake the dullest spirit. It can. But generally, as It is an orderly Spirit, as God is Order in each Person and way of acting, It inspires and speaks, not where there is sufficient merit to deserve its effusion — in which case Its effusions would be most rare and not even you would know their light — but where It sees the ‘goodwill’ to deserve such effusion.
GRM 32.7
The prayer "is communion of the spirit with God, from which you emerge with fresh strength and a decision to belong more and more to God".
GRM 32.8
‘Prompted by the Holy Spirit’ says the Gospel. Oh! If men only knew what a perfect Friend the Holy Spirit is! What Guide, what Teacher! If they only loved and invoked Him, this love of the Most Holy Trinity, this Light of Light, this Fire of Fire, this Intelligence, this Wisdom! How much more they would know of what is necessary to know!
GRM 32.9
Consider that God gave Himself to obliterate Satan’s work in your souls. And will He not be able now to defeat the satans that torture you?
GRM 32.9
God would help you once again, only if the large mass of the faithful would invoke Him with faith and ardent love.
GRM 32.9
Do not be afraid. Be united to the Cross. It has always defeated the snares of the demon, who with the cruelties of men and the sadness of life endeavours to drive to desperation, that is, to separation from God, the hearts he cannot conquer in any other way.
GRM 33.4
Jesus likes us. Let the others, who are learned and complicated, think what they like and let them say that we are «childish». We do not mind, do we?
GRM 34.11
You, o God, can read our hearts and You see the purpose we are aiming at. We trust to Your hands.
