There are so many ways to preach: in one’s home,
to visitors; in the home of the sick, to those who are
well; to children out in the streets, and to adults
wherever possible; to everyone and everywhere: with your eyes,
your lips, your entire person, with that unfailing imitatores mei
estote: be imitators of me; and luceat lux vestra: let the light of
your good deeds shine. (Letters 23)

08
A preacher who has the personal endowments and the
mission of his superiors has also the help of God to

insure that everything goes well. (Letters 35)

Remember to look for the secret of your eloquence in
charity. (Letters 29)

Let us plant, let us irrigate, but above all let us keep
our eyes fixed on the great Divine Star from which
descends the kindly heat that gives supernatural
growth. (Letters 29)

Let us keep on praying very much to him who, in
accordance with His designs, will bestow growth on the work of His
ministers. (Letters 29)

Let us pray. In these days, prayer has become the
greatest, the most powerful apostolate. (Letters 22)

Pray, pray, and pray. I have nothing else to recommend
to you, because I know that the devil is tempting us more
than ever and is attacking us from every direction. There
is no better way for us to defeat him. (Letters 33)
