That we ought to give ourselves up to GOD, with regard both to things temporal and spiritual, and seek our satisfaction only in the fulfilling of His will, whether He lead us by suffering or by consolation, for all would be equal to a soul truly resigned

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

Having found in many books different methods of going to GOD, and divers practices of the spiritual life, I thought this would serve rather to puzzle me than facilitate what I sought after, which was nothing but how to become wholly GOD'S. This made me resolve to give the all for the all; so after having given myself wholly to GOD, that He might take away my sin, I renounced, for the love of Him, everything that was not He; and I began to live as if there was none but He and I in the world.

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

Let us fear to leave Him. Let us be always with Him. Let us live and die in His presence.

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

Think often on God, by day, by night, in your business and even in your diversions. He is always near you and with you; leave him not alone.
