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

Your meditations may be as profound, as exalted, as devout as you like; you may practise every pious exercise you can manage, but all this is as nothing in comparison with the Blessed Sacrament. What we do may be godly, but this sacrament is God Himself!

Man must do his part and detach himself from created things.

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

A good meditation, even when it is interrupted by occasional nodding, is much more beneficial than many outward religious exercises.

Because in the school of the Spirit man learns wisdom through humility, knowledge by forgetting, how to speak by silence, how to live by dying.

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.
