“In the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds.”

He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again.

The soul that walks in love neither tires others nor grows tired.

Do not let your “eye” be drawn by the false “beacon lamps” -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.

Oh, night that guided me, Oh, night more lovely than the dawn,Oh, night that joined Beloved with lover, Lover transformed in the Beloved!

At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love.

God passes through the thicket of the world, and wherever His glance falls He turns all things to beauty.

Now that I no longer desire all, I have it all without desire.

Who teaches the soul if not God?

Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.

God desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.

Seek in reading and you will find in meditation; knock in prayer and it will be opened to you in contemplation.

Contemplation is nothing else but a secret, peaceful, and loving infusion of God, which, if admitted, will set the soul on fire with the Spirit of love.

The eternal tide flows hid in Living Bread. That with its Heavenly Life too be fed.

He who avoids prayer is avoiding everything that is good.

Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn’t seek the glory of Christ.

See that you are not suddenly saddened by the adversities of this world, for you do not know the good they bring, being ordained in the judgments of God for the everlasting joy of the elect.

I was told I could break free if I wanted to. That my wings would mend with time. But how can I mend a part of me that was never built to weather a storm?

Let me show you how words can make merriment from the most bitter melancholy. How words softly spoken, can heal even the most insidious of wounds.

If I could go back to a time I’d be with you. And I’d thank you again for almost being the healing to my heart.

We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.

It will be okay. And even if it isn’t, you will be okay.

An authentically powered person lives in love. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love.

Healing is the process of accepting all, then choosing best.

If the heart is meant to be broken, then it is also meant to be healed.
