To love is to be transformed into what we love. To love God is therefore to be transformed into God.
John of the CrossStrive always to confess your sins with a deep knowledge of your own wretchedness and with clarity and purity.
John of the CrossThe centre of the soul is God; and, when the soul has attained to Him according to the whole capacity of its being, which is the strength and virtue of the soul, it will have reached the last and the deep centre of the soul, which will be when with all its powers it loves and understands and enjoys God.
