“To love is to be transformed into what we love. To love God is therefore to be transformed into God.”

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.

Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw love out.

God leads every soul by a separate path.

At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.

In search of my Love I will go over mountains and strands; I will gather no flowers, I will fear no wild beasts; And pass by the mighty and the frontiers.

Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens, and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him.

There is nothing better or more necessary than love.
