“Of course you are unworthy. But when do you hope to be worthy? You will be no more worthy at the end than at the beginning. God alone is worthy of Himself, He alone can make us worthy of Him.”

Every evil, harm and suffering in this life comes from the love of riches.

To the servant of God… every place is the right place, and every time is the right time.

Make yourself a “capacity” and I will make myself a “torrent.”

You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.

Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, flavored with the light of true discretion without which the soul is worth nothing.

The soul, as soon as she comes to know Me, reaches out to love her neighbors.

Out of darkness is born the light.

Consider your possessions loaned to you by God.

Obedient people never trust in themselves.

The path to heaven lies through heaven, and all the way to heaven is heaven.

One who knows more, loves more.

We trust and believe in what we love.

We’ve had enough of exhortations to be silent! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that the world is rotten because of silence.

Nails were not enough to hold God-and-man nailed and fastened on the Cross, had not love held Him there.

It is only through shadows that one comes to know the light.

avarice breeds envy, a worm that is always gnawing, letting the avaricious enjoy neither their own nor anyone else’s good.

God sent me to piss the world off!

Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not.

I entertain no doubts as to the truth of the transfinites, which I have recognized with God’s help.

Whoever obeys the gods, to him they particularly listen.

We multiply the joy God gives us by sharing it.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.
