You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
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.
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
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.
Evil men sprout like weeds in the sun, like weeds that spread all through the garden. Their roots wrap round the stones and hold fast to every rock.
