“THE SIGHT of Jesus Christ makes me love the Cross so much that I do not think I could be happy without it. I look with respect on those whom God visits with humiliations and adversity, of whatever nature they may be; these are, doubtless, His favorites. In order to humiliate myself, I had only to compare my lot with theirs when I am enjoying prosperity.

“The following words never come to mind, but light, peace, liberty, consolation, and love seem to enter along with them; they are: simplicity, confidence, humility, entire abandonment, nothing kept back, the will of God, my rules.”

–Blessed Claude de la Colombière, as quoted in The Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Fr. John Croiset
