The life of prayer is just love to God, and the custom of being ever with Him.
What a miserable life is this! There is no happiness that is secure and nothing that does not change.
Souls who do not practice prayer are like people whose limbs are paralyzed.
God never changes; Patient endurance Attains to all things; Who God possesses In nothing is wanting; Alone God suffices.
Lord, how Thou dost afflict Thy lovers!
God deliver me from people who are so spiritual that they want to turn everything into perfect contemplation, come what may.
