“I can’t find words to express my happiness. Here there is no longer anything but God. He is All; He suffices and we live by Him alone.”

Let us ask God to make us true in our love, to make us sacrificial beings, for it seems to me that sacrifice is only love put into action.

I have found heaven on earth, since heaven is God, and God is in my soul.

Believe that He loves you. He wants to help you Himself in the struggles which you must undergo. Believe in His Love, His exceeding Love.

I go to him as a baby goes to his mother so that he can fill me and invade all and take me in his arms.

May nothing distract me from You, neither noise nor diversions. O my Master, I would so love to live with You in silence.

My mission in heaven will be to draw souls, helping them to go out of themselves to cling to God, with a spontaneous, love-filled action, and to keep them in that great interior silence which enables God to make his mark on them, to transform them into himself.

Believe that He loves you. He wants to help you Himself in the struggles which you must undergo. Believe in His Love, His exceeding Love.

You will never be commonplace if you are vigilant in love.

What a joyous mystery is your presence within me, in that intimate sanctuary of my soul where I can always find you, even when I do not feel your presence.

For my heart is always with Him, day and night it thinks unceasingly of its heavenly and divine Friend, to whom it wants to prove its affection. Also within it arises this desire: not to die, but to suffer long, to suffer for God, to give Him its life while praying for poor sinners.

May my life be a continual prayer, a long act of love.

A soul united to Jesus is a living smile that radiates Him and gives Him.

Remain in Me. It is the Word of God who gives this order, expresses this wish.

During painful times, when you feel a terrible void, think how the capacity of your soul is being enlarged so that it can receive God- becoming as it were, infinite as God is infinite.

Make my soul, Your cherished dwelling place, Your home of rest. Let me never leave You there alone, but keep me there all absorbed in You, in living faith, adoring You.

Abyss calls to abyss. It is there in the very depths that the divine impact takes place, where the abyss of our nothingness encounters the Abyss of mercy, the immensity of the all of God.
