“Ascultarea e sora răbdării / Orgoliul este splendoarea prostiei / Cine iubeşte nu este niciodată singur / Orgoliul este o oglindă mult prea apropiată / Decăderea iubirii e cauza tuturor relelor din lume / Fă cu mărinimie cele mai mici lucruri şi cu umilinţă lucrurile mari / Nu există închisoare pentru lumea care-L iubeşte pe Dumnezeu / Nu fă niciodată două lucruri în acelaşi timp, exceptând rugăciunea / A iubi înseamna să suferi cu celălalt, şi e bine să iubeşti chiar dacă mori din iubire / Nu există bucurie mai mare pe pământ decât aceea de a putea fi iubit de Dumnezeu / Lubirea de Dumnezeu şi iubirea de aproapele: să nu despărţim ceea ce Dumnezeu a unit / A şti cum trebuie să-ţi iubeşti duşmanii înseamna a începe să întelegi cine este Dumnezeu.”

“Do not yield to hatred. Be patient. We are here in a dark
tunnel but we have to go on. At the end, the eternal light
is shining for us”, Bl. Brandsma, O.Carm
Prayer in the midst of suffering
God our Father, source of life and freedom, through your
Holy Spirit you gave the Carmelite Titus Brandsma the
courage to affirm human dignity even in the midst of suffering and degrading persecution. Grant us that same Spirit, so that, refusing all compromise with error, we may always and everywhere give coherent witness to your abiding presence among us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Apparition message - September 1846
“Priests, my Son's ministers, priests, by their evil life,
by their irreverences and their impiety in celebrating
the holy mysteries, love of money, love of honor and
pleasures, priests have become sewers of impurity.
Yes, priests call forth vengeance, and vengeance is
suspended over their heads. Woe to priests, and
to persons consecrated to God, who by their infidelities and their evil life are crucifying my son anew! The sins of persons consecrated to God cry to heaven and call for vengeance, and now here is vengeance at their very doors, for no longer is anyone found to beg mercy and pardon for the people; there are no more generous souls, there is now no one worthy of offering the spotless Victim to the Eternal on the world's behalf.” Our Lady of La Salette
