Since love for our Creator cannot be sustained unless we love others for God's sake.

God is more ready to pardon that we have been to sin.

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

And of what should we be afraid? Our captain on this battlefield is Christ Jesus. We have discovered what we have to do. Christ has bound our enemies for us and weakened them that they cannot overcome us unless we so choose to let them. So we must fight courageously and mark ourselves with the sign of the most Holy Cross.

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

The strongest and purest love is not the one that starts from impressions, but the one that comes from admiration.

God is closer to us than water is to a fish.
