Never do anything which you could not do in the sight of all.

How is it that we do not die of love in seeing that God Himself could do no more than shed His divine blood for us drop by drop? When as man He was preparing for death, He made Himself our food in order to give us life. God becomes food, bread for his creatures. Is this not enough to make us die of love?

Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself.

All blessings come to us through our Lord. He will teach us, for in beholding His life we find that He is the best example.

It is a great folly to be willing to violate the friendship of God, rather than the law of human friendship.
