Although you perform many works, if you do not deny your will and submit yourself, losing all solicitude about yourself and your affairs, you will not make progress.
If you wish to attain holy recollection, you will do so not by receiving but by denying.
Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the beloved.
There is nothing better or more necessary than love.
Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent.
