If you lose an opportunity you will be like one who lets the bird fly away; you will never get it back.

My sole occupation is love.

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

Who teaches the soul if not God?

See that you are not suddenly saddened by the adversities of this world, for you do not know the good they bring, being ordained in the judgments of God for the everlasting joy of the elect.

Have a great love for those who contradict and fail to love you, for in this way love is begotten in a heart that has no love.

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