The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
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.
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.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
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.
