It is not so essential to think much as to love much.

How friendly we should all be with one another if nobody were interested in money and honor.

It will be as well, I think, to explain these locutions of God, and to describe what the soul feels when it receives them.

Prayer is an act of love; words are not needed. Even if sickness distracts from thoughts, all that is needed is the will to love.

Be gentle and kind with every one, and severe with yourself.

We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.

We are always in the presence of God, yet it seems to me that those who pray are in His presence in a very different sense.
