You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
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
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.
Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
