List of points

When you are ill, offer up your sufferings with love, and they will turn into incense rising up in God’s honour, and making you holy.

As a child of God, with his grace in you, you have to be a strong person, a man or woman of desires and achievements.

—We are not hothouse plants. We live in the middle of the world, and we have to be able to face up to all the winds that blow, to the heat and the cold, to rain and storms…, but always faithful to God and to his Church.

Insults hurt so much, even though you want to love them.

—Don’t be surprised: offer them to God.

You were very hurt at being slighted! That means you are forgetting too easily who you are.
