Who teaches the soul if not God?

He who avoids prayer is avoiding everything that is good.

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

He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again.

However softly we speak, God is so close to us that he can hear us; nor do we need wings to go in search of him, but merely to seek solitude and contemplate him within ourselves, without being surprised to find such a good Guest there.

Never relax, for you will not attain to the possession of true spiritual delights if first you do not learn to deny your every desire.

My sole occupation is love.
