From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.

Contemplative prayer [oración mental] in my opinion is nothing else than a close sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with him who we know loves us.

In order to profit from this path [of prayer] and ascend to the dwelling places we desire, the important thing is not to think much but to love much; and so, do that which best stirs you to love.

That is how His Majesty [the Lord] rewards our good works---I mean, by predisposing us to perform better ones.

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.

God never changes; Patient endurance Attains to all things; Who God possesses In nothing is wanting; Alone God suffices.

Ah, how true it is that we love ourselves too much and proceed with too much human prudence, that we may not lose an atom of our consideration! Oh, what a great mistake that is! The Saints did not act thus.
