The virtuous soul that is alone and without a master is like a long lone burning coal; it will grow colder rather than hotter.

Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn't seek the glory of Christ.

When there is no love, pour in love and you shall draw out love.

He who loses an opportunity is like the man who lets a bird fly from his hand, for he will never recover it.

Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw love out.

The divine awakening produces in the soul of the perfect a flame of love which is a participate of that living flame which is the Holy Spirit Himself...this is the operation of the Holy Spirit in the soul that is transformed in love.

Never give up prayer, and should you find dryness and difficulty, persevere in it for this very reason. God often desires to see what love your soul has, and love is not tried by ease and satisfaction.
