Until I am essentially united with God, I can never have full rest or real happiness.

Everything has being through the love of God.

Our Lord is the ground from whom our prayer grows and in his love and grace he himself gives us our prayers.

The Elements of Prayer|Its ground: God, by whose goodness it springeth in us. |Its use: to turn our will to His will. |Its end: to be made one with Him and like to Him in all things.

Prayer is a new, gracious, lasting will of the soul united and fast-bound to the will of God by the precious and mysterious working of the Holy Ghost.

The love that made Him to suffer passeth as far all His pains as Heaven is above Earth.

God loved us before he made us; and his love has never diminished and never shall.
