I am happy and shall never cease to be so because I belong to my God. At every moment I find in him my heaven and an eternal and immutable love. I don't desire anything but him and this love grows in my soul inasmuch I see myself introduced in the bosom of his divine love and adorable perfections.

When God's love takes possession of a heart, it transforms it, it makes human love divine, so to speak.

How your life would be transformed if you were frequently with Jesus as with a friend! Do you perchance think that Jesus will not receive you as such? If you think such a thing, you would demonstrate that you do not know Him. He is all tenderness, all love for His sinful creatures.

The more we love, the more we need sacrifice and the more we ardently desire it.

That thirst for prayer continually grows in me; my recollection is always continuous now, because whatever I do, I do with my Jesus and offer it to Him with love. When, for any reason whatever, I’m unable to make my prayer, I suffer at not being able to be with my God….

I could wish never to die till the end of the world that I might live always at the feet of my Beloved comforting Him in His agony Who is exiled in His tabernacle for love of His creatures who often offend and forget Him.

By God, of God, and for God, this is the final goal of every creature.

God alone knows what it cost me to overcome this pride or vanity that took possession of my heart as I grew older. My character was timid, my heart sensitive. I used to cry for any reason, but my disposition was extremely gentle; I never used to get mad at anyone.

Jesus alone is beautiful; He is my only joy. I call for Him, I cry after Him, I search for Him within my heart. I long for Jesus to grind me interiorly so that I may become a pure host where He can find His rest. I want to be athirst with love so that other souls may possess this love. I would die to creatures and to myself, so that He may live in me.

I abyss myself in His magnificence and His wisdom but when I ponder His goodness, my heart can say nothing – I can only Adore.

It is in prayer that the soul learns to know Jesus and thus to love him. Since love cannot be satisfied with difference but with equality, the result is union in similarity.

Let us thank God to have united our souls by the bond of true friendship, which consists in mutually perfectioning ourselves to get closer to God.
