Nothing can be compared to the great beauty and capabilities of a soul; however keen our intellects may be, they are as unable to comprehend them as to comprehend God, for, as He has told us, He created us in His own image and likeness.

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.

True perfection consists in the love of God and our neighbour, and the better we keep both these commandments, the more perfect we shall be.

The same know contentment, for beauty is their lover, and beauty is never absent from this world.

There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world.

God prefers your health, and your obedience, to your penance.

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