Do not say that you have chaste minds if you have unchaste eyes, because an unchaste eye is the messenger of an unchaste heart.

Repentant tears wash out the stain of guilt.

Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.

Whoever, therefore, thinks that he understands the divine scriptures or any part of them so that it does not build on the double love of God and of our neighbor does not understand it at all. Thus a man supported by faith, hope, and charity, with an unshaken hold upon them does not need the scriptures. . . And many live by these three things in solitude without books.

I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.

Sin is believing the lie that you are self-created, self-dependent and self-sustained.

We count on God's mercy for our past mistakes, on God's love for our present needs, on God's sovereignty for our future.
