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
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.
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 is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he who is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he neither has rest himself, nor does he permit others to rest.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
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.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
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.
