Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn't seek the glory of Christ.

Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens, and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him.

The virtuous soul that is alone and without a master is like a long lone burning coal; it will grow colder rather than hotter.

Let all find COMPASSION in YOU.

For true devotion must issue from the heart, and consist in the truth and substances alone of what is represented by spiritual things; all the rest is affection and attachment proceeding from imperfection; and in order that one may pass to any kind of perfection it is necessary for such desires to be killed.

However high be your endeavors, unless you renounce and subjugate your own will - unless you forget yourself and all that pertains to yourself - not one step will you advance on the road to perfection.

It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.
