Now that I no longer desire all, I have it all without desire.

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.

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.

Let my soul live as if separated from my body.

If you do not learn to deny yourself, you can make no progress in perfection.

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.

Yearning: It needs to hurt in order to be worthy of the word. Otherwise it is just wanting.
