In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.

Never listen to accounts of the frailty of others; and if anyone should complain to you of another, humbly ask him not to speak about him at all.

Let my soul live as if separated from my body.

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.

Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn't seek the glory of Christ.

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