It is just that he should act with reserve towards those who act with reserve towards him. On the contrary, he gives himself entirely to those souls, who, driving from their hearts everything that is not God, and does not lead them to his love, and giving themselves to him without reserve, truly say to him: My God and my all.

He who desires nothing but God is rich and happy.

Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.

After the love which we owe Jesus Christ, we must give the chief place in our heart to the love of His Mother Mary.

True, He is infinite Majesty, but He is also infinite Goodness and infinite Love. There can be no greater Lord than God; neither can there be a more ardent lover than He.
