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.
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.
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.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
