The Saints Rejoiced At Injuries And Persecutions,

Prayer Is An Act Of Love. Words Are Not Needed.

May I Not Come Before You With Empty Hands, Since We Are Rewarded According To Our Deeds.

Do You Think It Is Only A Little Thing To Possess A House From Which Lovely Things Can Be Seen?

The Words Are Very Distinctly Formed; But By The Bodily Ear They Are Not Heard. They Are, However, Much More Clearly Understood Than They Would Be If They Were Heard By The Ear. It Is Impossible Not To Understand Them, Whatever Resistance We May Offer... There Is No Escape, For In Spite Of Ourselves We Must Listen...

It Is Certain That The Love Of God Does Not Consist In This Sweetness And Tenderness Which We For The Most Part Desire; But Rather In Serving Him In Justice, Fortitude, And Humility. His Majesty Seeks And Loves Courageous Souls.
