Let us enter into the house of knowledge of ourselves.

We trust and believe in what we love.

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

God cannot leave us. It is just that our soul is so vast, we do not always feel His lips upon the veil.

avarice breeds envy, a worm that is always gnawing, letting the avaricious enjoy neither their own nor anyone else's good.

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

Oh, let us lose our milk teeth and cut instead the strong teeth of hate and love.
