Beloved, all that is harsh and difficult I want for myself, and all that is gentle and sweet for thee.

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

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.

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

God leads every soul by a separate path.

The virtuous soul that is alone and without a master is like a long lone burning coal; it will grow colder rather than hotter.

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.
