By virtue of love is the lover transformed in the beloved and the beloved transformed in the lover.

Without humility of heart all the other virtues by which one runs toward God seem - and are - absolutely worthless.

Holy Scripture is so exalted that there is no one in the world ... wise enough to understand it so fully that his intellect is not overcome by it. Nevertheless, man can stammer something about it.

It is the Sacrament of Love that excites the soul to ardent prayer. It stirs up the virtue of impetration and, as it were, forces God to grant our petition. It deepens the abyss of humility, above all it enkindles the flame of love in the heart; hence the Sacrament is the Gift of gifts, and the Grace of graces

Our perfection certainly consists in knowing God and ourselves.

So great was my joy in God that I took no heed of looking at the angels and the saints, because all their goodness and all their beauty was from Him and in Him.

By virtue of love is the lover transformed in the beloved and the beloved transformed in the lover.
