Let my soul live as if separated from my body.

God leads every soul by a separate path.

In the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds.

However softly we speak, God is so close to us that he can hear us; nor do we need wings to go in search of him, but merely to seek solitude and contemplate him within ourselves, without being surprised to find such a good Guest there.

There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.

Have a great love for those who contradict and fail to love you, for in this way love is begotten in a heart that has no love.

Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens, and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him.
