Christ Jesus left you this sweet key of obedience; for He left His Vicar, whom you are all obliged to obey until death. And whoever is outside his obedience is in a state of damnation.

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

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

O fire of love! Was it not enough for You to have created us to Your image and likeness, and to have recreated us in grace through the Blood of Your Son, without giving Yourself wholly to us as our Food, O God, Divine Essence? What impelled You to do this? Your charity alone.

It is the nature of love to love as much as we feel we are loved and to love whatever the one we love loves.

The devil fears hearts on fire with love of God.
