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

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

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.

We must do our business faithfully, without trouble or disquiet, recalling our mind to God mildly, and with tranquility, as often as we find it wandering from him.

I drove away from my mind everything capable of spoiling the sense of the presence of God.... I just make it my business to persevere in His holy presence... My soul has had an habitual, silent, secret conversation with God.

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.

Lord of all pots and pans and things make me a saint by getting meals and washing up the plates!
