If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Do not wander far and wide but return into yourself. Deep within man there dwells the truth.
Love, and He will draw near; love, and He will dwell within you.
The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.
When I am completely united to You, there will be no more sorrow or trials; entirely full of You, my life will be complete.
Our life is a gymnasium of desire.... When Christians say "God," what do we wish to express? This word is all that we yearn for."
Now the Apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says, "Knowledge inflates: but love edifies." The only correct inerpretation of this saying is that knowledge is valuable when charity informs it. Without charity, knowledge inflates; that is, it exalts man to an arrogance which is nothing but a kind of windy emptiness.
Singing is a lover's thing.
O Sacrament of Love! O sign of Unity! O bond of Charity! He who would have Life finds here indeed a Life to live in and a Life to live by.
