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

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.

Now that I no longer desire all, I have it all without desire.

Yearning: It needs to hurt in order to be worthy of the word. Otherwise it is just wanting.

Take God for your spouse and friend and walk with him continually, and you will not sin and will learn to love, and the things you must do will work out prosperously for you.

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

Contemplation is nothing else but a secret, peaceful, and loving infusion of God, which, if admitted, will set the soul on fire with the Spirit of love.
