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.

God desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.

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

The soul that journey's to God, but doesn't shake off it's cares and quiet it's appetities, is like someone who drags a cart of dirt uphill.

The eternal tide flows hid in Living Bread. That with its Heavenly Life too be fed.

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.

To love is to be transformed into what we love. To love God is therefore to be transformed into God.
