For the ones who are called saints by human opinion on earth may very well be devils, and their light may very well be darkness

Conscience is the light by which we interpret the will of God in our own lives.

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.

There were only a few shepherds at the first Bethlehem. The ox and the donkey understood more of the first Christmas than the high priests in Jerusalem. And it is the same today.

Why do we have to spend our lives striving to be something that we would never want to be, if we only knew what we wanted? Why do we waste our time doing things which... are just the opposite of what we were made for?

The Holy Spirit is the most perfect gift of the Father to men, and yet He is the one gift which the Father gives most easily.

I can only become perfectly free by serving the will of God.
