In your nature, eternal Godhead, I shall come to know my nature. And what is my nature? It is fire, because you are nothing but a fire of love. And you have given humankind a share in this nature, for by the fire of love you created us.

Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.

Do not presume to choose your own way of serving instead of the one I have made for you.

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.

Nails were not enough to hold God-and-man nailed and fastened on the Cross, had not love held Him there.

There is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.

Obedience shows whether you are grateful.
