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

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.

He who avoids prayer is avoiding everything that is good.

All the powers of soul and body,memory, understanding, and will, interior and exterior senses, thedesires of spirit and of sense, all workin and by love.

In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human success, but rather on how much we have loved.

Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.

Faith is the union of God and the soul.
