Have a great love for those who contradict and fail to love you, for in this way love is begotten in a heart that has no love.

Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens, and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him.

At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.

Desolation is a file, and the endurance of darkness is preparation for great light.

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.

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.

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.
