People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant. If you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.

God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.

Whoever possesses God in their being has Him in a divine manner, and He shines out to them in all things; for them all things taste of God and in all things it is God's image that they see.

He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.

In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.

God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.

We are all meant to be mothers of God, for God is always needing to be born.
