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

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

There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.

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.

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.

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.

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