The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.

The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.

Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell. Death separates the soul from the body, but love separates all things from the soul.

When you are thwarted, it is your own attitude that is out of order

Saint Augustine cries, Lord I cannot love you, but come in and love yourself in me. According to Saint Paul, we must put off our own natural form and put on the form of God, and Saint Augustine tells us to discard our own mode of nature; then the divine nature will flow in and be revealed. Saint Augustine says, Those who seek and find, find not. He who seeks and finds not, he alone finds. Saint Paul says, What I was, was not I, it was God in me.

Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!

Nothing will be able to hinder us, if we desire and seek God alone, and take pleasure in nothing else.
