It is impossible to fulfill the law concerning love for Me, God eternal, apart from the law concerning love for your neighbors.

He has never left you.It is justthat your soul is so vastthat just likethe earth in its innocence,it may think,"I do not feel my lover's warmthagainst my face rightnow."But look, dear,is not the sun reaching down its armsand always holding a continentin its light?God cannot leave us.It is just that our soul is so vast,we do not always feel His lipsupon theveil.

Love transforms one into what one loves.

And let the truth be your delight...Proclaim it..., but with a certain congeniality.

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

Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, flavored with the light of true discretion without which the soul is worth nothing.

... people become like what they love.
