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.
When the heart is pure and simple it cannot help loving, because it has discovered the source of love which is God.
Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public.
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.
You have to change things in order to get to where you want to go. And things might get worse. But if you're not getting where you want to be, already, in a sense, it's as bad as it can get.
I didn't give myself enough breaks during the training year to recover. I didn't understand the power of periodization.
