When the heart is pure and simple it cannot help loving, because it has discovered the source of love which is God.

If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven.

You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to God.

The Lord is more anxious to forgive our sins than a woman is to carry her baby out of a burning building.

Our Guardian Angels are our most faithful friends, because they are with us day and night, always and everywhere. We ought often to invoke them.

Prayer is the inner bath of love into which the soul plunges itself.

It is always springtime in the heart that loves God.

All that we do without offering it to God is wasted.

A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind.

God commands you to pray, but forbids you to worry.

Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public.

There is nothing so great as the Eucharist. If God had something more precious, He would have given it to us.

I'm doing great heart-wise. I get a complete stress test once a year, and those have gone well. I have stents in two arteries, and they are holding up. My other arteries haven't shown any additional clogging.

I run four miles most days, at about 8:00 to 8:15 pace. It's totally relaxed.

Trust me, my runners aren't going to run one event while looking past it to the second event. When they get on the line for the 10K, that's a do-or-die situation for them.

The marathon is like a bullfight.

I've never enjoyed my running more. I also do 200 sit-ups a day, 60 push-ups, and a lot of stretching. I've had some back issues. I think the stretching helps with that.

With my runners now, they get two month-long breaks during the year.
