It must always be understood that one has to strive to go forward in the service of our Lord and in self- knowledge.

There is no need for us to be advising Him about what He should give us, for He can rightly tell us that we don't know what we're asking for.

Happy Feast Day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel!

The more this kind of love grows the more our love of God grows with it; and the deeper our love for Him the more we shall love our neighbor for the principle of both is the same.

Humility and detachment are two inseparable sisters.

The meek are those who know how to suffer their neighbor and themselves.

Yes, all my hopes will be fulfilled. The Lord will work wonders in me which will even surpass my great
desires.

This is a test to discern the true lover of God.  Is he satisfied with anything less than God?  For the satisfaction of the heart is not found in possessions but in detachment from all things and poverty of spirit.

He will gaze on you with beautiful, compassionate eyes, and will forget His own grief to solace yours, only because you went to comfort Him, and turned to look at Him.

“What is grace” I asked God. And He said, “All that happens.” Then He added, when I looked perplexed,“Could not lovers say that every moment in their Beloved’s arms was grace? Existence is my arms, though I well understand how one can turn away from me until the heart has wisdom."

I can say that my life is a continuous prayer, for everything I do I do it out out of love for my Jesus.

Though I still had as keen an eye for the human weaknesses of others, I no longer made it an instrument for striking them at their most vulnerable point, but, rather, for protecting them.

As the soul abode in solitude, abandoning all created help and consolation in order to obtain fellowship and union with the Beloved, it deserved thereby the peace of solitude in the Beloved, in whom it reposes alone, undisturbed by any anxiety.
