My sole occupation is love.

Contemplation is nothing else but a secret, peaceful, and loving infusion of God, which, if admitted, will set the soul on fire with the Spirit of love.

There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.

Obedience is a penance of reason, and, on that account, a sacrifice more acceptable than all corporal penances and mortifications.

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

All the powers of soul and body,memory, understanding, and will, interior and exterior senses, thedesires of spirit and of sense, all workin and by love.

God desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.
