In the light of faith I am strong, constant, and persevering.

Build a cell inside your mind, from which you can never flee.

The soul, who is lifted by a very great and yearning desire for the honor of God and the salvation of souls, begins by exercising herself, for a certain space of time, in the ordinary virtues, remaining in the cell of self-knowledge, in order to know better the goodness of God towards her.

You, Eternal Trinity, are my Creator, and I am the work of Your hands, and I know through the new creation which You have given me in the blood of Your Son, that You are enamored of the beauty of Your workmanship.

As the hart desires the spring of living water, so my soul desires to leave the prison of this dark body and see You in truth.

The poison of selfishness destroys the world.

Charity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.

In your nature, eternal Godhead, I shall come to know my nature. And what is my nature? It is fire, because you are nothing but a fire of love. And you have given humankind a share in this nature, for by the fire of love you created us.

It is only through shadows that one comes to know the light.

The soul, as soon as she comes to know Me, reaches out to love her neighbors.
