To be full of things is to be empty of God; to be empty of things is to be full of God.

Whatever God does, the first outburst is always compassion.

Some people prefer solitude. They say their peace of mind depends on this. Others say they would be better off in church. If you do well, you do well wherever you are. If you fail, you fail wherever you are. Your surroundings don't matter. God is with you everywhere -- in the market place as well as in seclusion or in the church. If you look for nothing but God, nothing or no one can disturb you. God is not distracted by a multitude of things. Nor can we be.

God does not work in all hearts alike, but according to the preparation and sensitivity He finds in each.

In this breaking-through, I receive that God and I are one. Then I am what I was, and then I neither diminish nor increase, for I am then an immovable cause that moves all things.

The soul loves the body. And consider too how it is that the body is more in the soul than the soul is in the body.

Be ready at all times for the gifts of God, and always for new ones.
