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

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

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

In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction.

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.

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.

The road is narrow. He who wishes to travel it more easily must cast off all things and use the cross as his cane. In other words, he must be truly resolved to suffer willingly for the love of God in all things.
