To join two things together there must be nothing between them or there cannot be a perfect fusion. Now realize that this is how God wants our soul to be, without any selfish love of ourselves or of others in between, just as God loves us without anything in between.

The Devil often places himself upon the tongues of creatures, causing them to chatter nonsensically.

Of course you are unworthy. But when do you hope to be worthy? You will be no more worthy at the end than at the beginning. God alone is worthy of Himself, He alone can make us worthy of Him.

From self-knowledge flows the stream of humility, which never seizes on mere report, nor takes offense at anything, but bears every insult, every loss of consolation, and every sorry, from whatever direction they may come, patiently, with joy.

O unfathomable depth! O Deity eternal! O deep ocean! What more could You give me than to give me Yourself?

You, God, made yourself lowly and small to make us great!

Love does not stay idle.
