Emptiness is that which frees us from religiosity and leads us to true spirituality.

It is possible for us to live in the very sense of the Lord's presence, under even the most difficult circumstances. If you and I are going to enjoy the peace of paradise during this life we must become accustomed to a familiar, humble, and very affectionate conversation with the Lord Jesus.

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.

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.

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.

We ought to seek God's assistance in our affairs just as they happen.
