Who teaches the soul if not 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.

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.

Not to follow the advice of our confessor is pride and a want of faith.

The soul of one who serves God always swims in joy, always keeps holiday, is always in her palace of jubilation, ever singing with fresh ardor and fresh pleasure a new song of joy and love.

In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction.

In the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds.
