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.

They say, "God told me", or "God replied to me". And yet most of the time they are talking to themselves.

There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.

In sorrow and suffering, go straight to God with confidence, and you will be strengthened, enlightened and instructed.

God passes through the thicket of the world, and wherever His glance falls He turns all things to beauty.

The centre of the soul is God; and, when the soul has attained to Him according to the whole capacity of its being, which is the strength and virtue of the soul, it will have reached the last and the deep centre of the soul, which will be when with all its powers it loves and understands and enjoys God.

He who avoids prayer is avoiding everything that is good.
