By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.

Those who pray from the heart do not think about the prayer they are saying, but about the God to whom they pray.

Let the enemy rage at the gate; let him knock, pound, scream, howl; let him do his worst. We know for certain that he cannot enter our soul except by the door of our consent.

A dance is the devil's procession, and he that entereth into a dance, entereth into his possession.

Strive to see God in all things without exception. Do not smother yourself...If you start smothering yourself with a host of cares and longings and wishes ... you will be disabling yourself from serving God with all your heart.

Have patience with all things - but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You are perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs or tribulations can ever change that.

There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!
