Give yourself entirely to God, enter and hide in the hidden ground of your soul.

In the kingdom of heaven it is His work that will be crowned, not yours. Anything in you that He has not wrought Himself will count for nothing.

To discern what weaknesses and faults separate you from God, you must enter into your own inward ground and then confront yourself.

Often when He comes, He finds the soul occupied. Other guests are there, and He has to turn away. He cannot gain entry, for we love and desire other things; therefore, His gifts, which He is offering to everyone unceasingly, must remain outside.

God in His wisdom has decided that He will reward no works but His own.

You don't have to leave the world to be holy and grow closer to the Holy One.

As a good wine must be kept in a good cask, so a wholesome body is the proper foundation for a well-appointed inner ground.
