Settle yourself in solitude, and you will come upon God in yourself.

Whoever has not begun the practice of prayer, I beg for the love of the Lord not to go without so great a good. There is nothing here to fear but only something to desire.

Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

Souls who do not practice prayer are like people whose limbs are paralyzed.

I am afraid that if we begin to put our trust in human help, some of our Divine help will fail us.

I made you, dear, and all I make is perfect. Please come close, for I desire you.

Vocal prayer . . . must be accompanied by reflection. A prayer in which a person is not aware of Whom he is speaking to, what he is asking, who it is who is asking and of Whom, I don't call prayer-however much the lips may move.
