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

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

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

A full belly does not make for a chaste spirit.

Eternal Trinity... mystery deep as the sea, You could give me no greater gift than the gift of Yourself. For You are a fire ever burning and never consumed, which itself consumes all the selfish love that fills my being.

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.

Love transforms one into what one loves.
