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

One way to recollect the mind easily in the time of prayer, and preserve it more in tranquillity, is not to let it wander too far at other times. You should keep it strictly in the presence of God; and being accustomed to think of Him often, you will find it easy to keep your mind calm in the time of prayer, or at least to recall it from its wanderings.

Believe me, count as lost each day you have not used in loving God.

There's no greater lifestyle and no greater happiness than that of having a continual conversation with God.

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

To worship God in truth is to recognize Him for being who He is, and to recognize ourselves for what we are.

Lift up your hearts to Him, sometimes even at your meals, and when you are in company; the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him. You need not cry very loud; He is nearer to us than we are aware.
