That's all an angel is....an idea of God.

When I experience Love I must go to God. When I experience non-attachment God must come to me.

All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.

I have sought earnestly and with great diligence that good and high virtue by which man may draw closest to God... and as far as my intelligence would permit, I find that high virtue to be pure disinterest, that is, detachment from creatures. Our Lord said to Martha 'Unum est necessarium', which is to say; to be untroubled and pure, one thing is necessary and that is disinterest.

Know that when you seek anything of your own, you will never find God, because you do not seek God purely. You are seeking something along with God, and you are acting just as if you were to make a candle out of God in order to look for something with it. Once one finds the things one is looking for, one throws the candle away. This is what you are doing.

The beast that bears you fastest to perfection is suffering.

I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
