Never relax, for you will not attain to the possession of true spiritual delights if first you do not learn to deny your every desire.

The window of the soul cleansed perfectly and made completely transparent by the divine light

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.

The divine awakening produces in the soul of the perfect a flame of love which is a participate of that living flame which is the Holy Spirit Himself...this is the operation of the Holy Spirit in the soul that is transformed in love.

He who loses an opportunity is like the man who lets a bird fly from his hand, for he will never recover it.

My sole occupation is love.

Though the path is plain and smooth for men of good will, he who walks it will not travel far, and will do so only with difficulty, if he does not have good feet: that is, courage and a persevering spirit.
