In our creation, God asked a question and in our truly living; God answers the question.

The true inner self must be drawn up like a jewel from the bottom of the sea, rescued from confusion, from indistinction, from immersion in the common, the nondescript, the trivial, the sordid, the evanescent.

His justice is the love that gives to each one of His creatures the gifts that His mercy has previously decreed. And His mercy is His love, doing justice to its own exigencies, and renewing the gift which we had failed to accept.

If you have never had any distractions you don't know how to pray.

How far have I to go to find you in whom I have already arrived.

We are obliged to love one another. We are not strictly bound to 'like' one another. Love governs the will: 'liking' is a matter of sense and sensibility. Nevertheless, if we really love others it will not be too hard to like them also.

Our minds are like crows. They pick up everything that glitters, no matter how uncomfortable our nests get with all that metal in them.
