You [God] are a fire that takes away the coldness, illuminates the mind with its light, and causes me to know your truth and I know that you are beauty and wisdom itself. The food of angels, you give yourself to man in this fire of your love

O You who are mad about Your creature! true God and true Man, You have left Yourself wholly to us, as food, so that we will not fall through weariness during our pilgrimage in this life, but will be fortified by You, celestial nourishment

Father, I am hungry; for the love of God give this soul her food, her Lord in the Eucharist

You know Me in you, and from this knowledge you will derive all that is necessary.

O abyss! O eternal Godhead! O deep sea! What more could you have given me than the gift of your very self?

There is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.

And of what should we be afraid? Our captain on this battlefield is Christ Jesus. We have discovered what we have to do. Christ has bound our enemies for us and weakened them that they cannot overcome us unless we so choose to let them. So we must fight courageously and mark ourselves with the sign of the most Holy Cross.
