Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn't seek the glory of Christ.
Faith is the union of God and the soul.
In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.
Not to follow the advice of our confessor is pride and a want of faith.
Seek in reading and you will find in meditation; knock in prayer and it will be opened to you in contemplation.
The virtuous soul that is alone and without a master is like a long lone burning coal; it will grow colder rather than hotter.
