We've been deceived by the thought that we would be more pleasing to God in our own way than in the way God has given us.

The soul is in God and God in the soul, just as the fish is in the sea and the sea in the fish.

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.

Obedient people never trust in themselves.

Do not be satisfied with little things, because God wants great things!

Wherefore, as I have said to you, I, God, have become man, and man has become God by the union of My Divine Nature with your human nature. This greatness is given in general to all rational creatures, but, among these I have especially chosen My ministers for the sake of your salvation, so that, through them, the Blood of the humble and immaculate Lamb, My only-begotten Son, may be administered to you.

There is nothing we can desire or want that we do not find in God.
