The eternal spring is hidden in this living bread for our life's sake, although it is night. It is here calling out to creatures; and they satisfy their thirst, although in darkness, because it is night. This living spring that I long for, I see in this bread of life, although it is night.

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

Let my soul live as if separated from my body.

Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw love out.

Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.
