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.

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.

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

A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things.

Lord, I shall see you no more with the eyes of the flesh.

My sole occupation is love.

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