Do not let your "eye" be drawn by the false "beacon lamps" -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.

If you do not learn to deny yourself, you can make no progress in perfection.

In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.

Strive always to confess your sins with a deep knowledge of your own wretchedness and with clarity and purity.

The road is narrow. He who wishes to travel it more easily must cast off all things and use the cross as his cane. In other words, he must be truly resolved to suffer willingly for the love of God in all things.

God passes through the thicket of the world, and wherever His glance falls He turns all things to beauty.

Let all find COMPASSION in YOU.
