That we need only to recognize GOD intimately present with us, to address ourselves to Him every moment, that we may beg His assistance for knowing His will in things doubtful, and for rightly performing those which we plainly see He requires of us, offering them to Him before we do them, and giving Him thanks when we have done.

That we ought, once for all, heartily to put our whole trust in GOD, and make a total surrender of ourselves to Him, secure that He would not deceive us.

God always gave us light in our doubts, when we had no other design but to please Him.

Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.

Many do not advance in Christian progress because they stick in penances and particular exercises, while they neglect the love of God, which is the end.

Let us think often that our only business in this life is to please God. Perhaps all besides is but folly and vanity.

The greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon Divine Grace.
