Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them.
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.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
Ask, and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
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
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
