Inordinate love for the flesh is cruelty, because under the appearance of pleasing the body, we kill the soul.

We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable.

Many of those who are humiliated are not humble. Some react to humiliation with anger, others with patience, and others with freedom. The first are culpable, the next harmless, the last just.

Love is alone sufficient by itself, it pleases by itself and for it's own sake. It is itself a merit, and itself it's own recompense. It seeks neither cause, nor consequences beyond itself. It is its own fruit, its own object and usefulness. I love because I love you, I love that I may love.

The more I contemplate God, the more God looks on me. The more I pray to him, the more he thinks of me too.

God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.

You wish to see; listen. Hearing is a step toward Vision.
