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

It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.

There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.

A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things.

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.

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.

Seek in reading and you will find in meditation; knock in prayer and it will be opened to you in contemplation.
