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.

The purest suffering bears and carries in its train the purest understanding.

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

Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.

There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.

In the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds.

Strive always to confess your sins with a deep knowledge of your own wretchedness and with clarity and purity.
