You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
He who knows how to suffer will enjoy much peace, and he is a conqueror of himself, the lord of the world, the friend of Christ, and an heir of Heaven.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime, nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant, nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth ; because love is born of God, nor can it rest upon created things, but only in God
