You must believe in truth that whatever God gives or permits is for your salvation.

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

God cannot leave us. It is just that our soul is so vast, we do not always feel His lips upon the veil.

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

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

The soul, as soon as she comes to know Me, reaches out to love her neighbors.

Out of darkness is born the light.
