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.

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

all the vices are seasoned with pride just as the virtues are seasoned and enlivened by charity.

Every step of the way to heaven is heaven.

O abyss! O eternal Godhead! O deep sea! What more could you have given me than the gift of your very self?

We've had enough of exhortations to be silent! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that the world is rotten because of silence.

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.
