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.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
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.
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
