Take God for your spouse and friend and walk with him continually, and you will not sin and will learn to love, and the things you must do will work out prosperously for you.

Live in faith and hope, though it be in darkness, for in this darkness God protects the soul. Cast your care upon God for you are His and He will not forget you. Do not think that He is leaving you alone, for that would be to wrong Him.

At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.

Let my soul live as if separated from my body.

Faith is a dark night for man, but in this very way it gives him light.

The eternal spring is hidden in this living bread for our life's sake, although it is night. It is here calling out to creatures; and they satisfy their thirst, although in darkness, because it is night. This living spring that I long for, I see in this bread of life, although it is night.

Seek in reading and you will find in meditation; knock in prayer and it will be opened to you in contemplation.
