Consider your possessions loaned to you by God.

Ponder the fact that God has made you a gardener, to root out vice and plant virtue.

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

O my soul, what are you doing? Are you not aware that God sees you always? You can never hide yourself from His sight. O Father, have pity on us because we are blind and in darkness. Drive out the darkness and give me light. Melt the ice of my self-love and kindle in me the fire of Your charity.

Father, I am hungry; for the love of God give this soul her food, her Lord in the Eucharist

For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.

It is only through shadows that one comes to know the light.
