Every evil, harm and suffering in this life comes from the love of riches.

Perfection does not consist in macerating or killing the body, but in killing our perverse self-will.

What is it you want to change? Your hair, your face, your body? Why? For God is in love with all those things and he might weep when they are gone.

This my goodness does to endow the souls of the just more fully with spiritual riches when for my love they are stripped of material goods because they have renounced the world and all its pleasures and even their own will. These are the ones who fatten their souls, enlarging them in the abyss of my charity. Then I become their spiritual provider. The Holy Spirit becomes their servant.

Charity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.

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.
