In order to form a habit of conversing with GOD continually, and referring all we do to Him, we must at first apply to Him with some diligence: but that after a little care we should find His love inwardly excite us to it without any difficulty.

The most holy and important practice in the spiritual life is the presence of God - that is, every moment to take great pleasure that God is with you

Men invent means and methods of coming at God''s love, they learn rules and set up devices to remind them of that love, and it seems like a world of trouble to bring oneself into the consciousness of God''s presence. Yet it might be so simple. Is it not quicker and easier just to do our common business wholly for the love of 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.

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

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.

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