Some of his maxims.
.
In order to preserve their purity, young men should frequent the Sacraments, and especially confession.
.
To acquire and preserve the virtue of chastity, we have need of a good and experienced confessor.
.
It is a most useful thing to say often, and from the heart, “Lord, do not put any confidence in me, for I am sure to fall if Thou dost not help me;” or, “O my Lord, look for nothing but evil from me.”
.
In trying to get rid of bad habits, it is of the greatest importance not to put off going to confession after a fall, and also to keep to the same confessor.
.
Let us concentrate ourselves so completely in the divine love, and enter so far into the living fountain of wisdom, through the wounded Side of our Incarnate God, that we may deny ourselves and our self-love, and so be unable to find our way out of that Wound again.
.
A virtuous life consists in mortifying vices, sins, bad thoughts, and evil affections, and in exercising ourselves in the acquisition of holy virtues.
.
Our Blessed Lady is the dispenser of all the favours which the goodness of God concedes to the Sons of Adam.
