The window of the soul cleansed perfectly and made completely transparent by the divine light

Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.

Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.

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

Though the path is plain and smooth for men of good will, he who walks it will not travel far, and will do so only with difficulty, if he does not have good feet: that is, courage and a persevering spirit.

In sorrow and suffering, go straight to God with confidence, and you will be strengthened, enlightened and instructed.

The soul of one who serves God always swims in joy, always keeps holiday, is always in her palace of jubilation, ever singing with fresh ardor and fresh pleasure a new song of joy and love.
