God's light and wisdom pour through the text of the Holy Scriptures on all who approach them with humility and faith

The least scrap of pride or self-righteousness prevents God's light from pouring within the soul, as surely as when the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

One who says truthfully to God, in prayer, 'I am not fit to approach you', speaks truth. Such humility brings down the 'walls' of selfishness, and opens the way to God!

One who stands very close the Christ is 'haloed' by His glory, although, alone, she is small, weak, and insignificant.

When anyone determinedly steps out to serve God, he or she is led on a firm path. The way is clear, but it's as if a burning lake lies at one side, so great care is necessary. One foolish step - such as pride - would mean disaster. The person who stays close to the wall (to Christ) will arrive safely into His arms, in Heaven.

It pleased Jesus to bring His Mother Mary to be with Him in the Lady Chapel, and to show me what I believe: that they are real people who love me and are touched by my humble and grateful prayers.

Someone who does great work for God can be held 'upright' in humility by two guy ropes: the knowledge of his sinfulness and of God's holiness.

Whoever is willing to accept unavoidable humiliations in patience makes a 'space' amongst the crowd, so that God's grace can flow down to bathe and refresh and transform many more persons.

The pride which I fight in myself is childish and foolish, but wholly unlike the rebellious pride of Satan.

The Truth About Sanctity: A man might foolishly try to impress a woman by his physical strength; similarly, a foolish Christian might try to 'impress' God by exhausting work and loud praises, instead of sincere love.

If I remain always at the foot of the cross, I'll remember that all the graces I now enjoy were won through Christ's lonely torment on Calvary. How can I then become proud or self-satisfied?

It is love for God that 'counts' in prayer. Someone who gives his entire attention to God in love and reverence might find himself rising to the 'heights' with no effort, as if on a magic carpet - unlike those who try to storm Heaven with loud demands. The Saints lean down, to encourage us all to approach God with patience and humility.

God recommends that we pray truthful prayers, such as: I'm afraid, or I can't cope, or I feel unloved, or I am a slave to this habit, or I need your help.

Those in the Church who are proud or ambitious are like fish which dart about excitedly and travel far but are in danger from larger fish. Humble people who are faithful to their duties without noise or ostentation resemble those lowly creatures, outwardly dull, who live more safely on the ocean floor and also fulfil their purpose.

Jesus Christ is true God, who took on our human nature, having the humility and goodness to come amongst us as a mere infant.
