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

Live in faith and hope, though it be in darkness, for in this darkness God protects the soul. Cast your care upon God for you are His and He will not forget you. Do not think that He is leaving you alone, for that would be to wrong Him.

Live as though only God and yourself were in this world, so that your heart may not be detained by anything human.

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

Not to follow the advice of our confessor is pride and a want of faith.

He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again.

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