My God, since you are with me and since, by Your will, I must occupy myself with external things, please grant me the grace to remain with You, in Your presence. Work with me, so that my work might be the very best. Receive as an offering of love both my work and all my affections.

Were I a preacher, I should preach above all other things, the practice of the Presence of God.... Those who have the gale of the Holy Spirit go forward, even in sleep.

We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.

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

The most holy and important practice in the spiritual life is the presence of God - that is, every moment to take great pleasure that God is with you

We should fix ourselves firmly in the presence of God by conversing all the time with Him...we should feed our soul with a lofty conception of God and from that derive great joy in being his. We should put life in our faith. We should give ourselves utterly to God in pure abandonment, in temporal and spiritual matters alike, and find contentment in the doing of His will,whether he takes us through sufferings or consolations.

To worship God is to admit that we are entirely contrary to Him, and that He is willing to make us like Himself.
