The soul, light as a feather, fluid as water, innocent as a child, responds to every movement of grace like a floating balloon.

To love God in great things is not so perfect an act of faith as to worship them in small ones.

When you happen to be entirely unoccupied with created things so that you seem to be thinking of nothing and desiring nothing, you should know that then your soul in unconsciously occupied with God and in God.

God teaches the soul by pains and obstacles, not by ideas.

The books the Holy Spirit is writing are living, and every soul a volume in which the divine author makes a true revelation of his word, explaining it to every heart, unfolding it in every moment.

The duties of each moment are the shadows beneath which hides the divine operation.

There is not a moment in which God does not present Himself under the cover of some pain to be endured, of some consolation to be enjoyed, or of some duty to be performed. All that takes place within us, around us, or through us, contains and conceals His divine action.
