There is no sweeter manner of living in the world than continuous communion with God.

The more we know Him, the more we will desire to know Him. As love increases with knowledge, the more we know God, the more we will truly love Him. We will learn to love Him equally in times of distress or in times of great joy.

It is not the greatness of the work which matters to God but the love with which it is done.

We may make an oratory of our heart wherein to retire from time to time to converse with Him in meekness, humility, and love. Every one is capable of such familiar conversation with God, some more, some less. He knows what we can do. Let us begin, then.

Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.

If we are truly devoted to doing God's will, pain and pleasure won't make any difference to us.

God as we ought to worship Him. God is Spirit, so we must worship Him in spirit and truth, that is, by a humble and true adoration of spirit in the depth and center of our souls.
