“That hermit is to be pitied who makes do with other people’s shouts of joy, even though of saints and most sublimely phrased. What he has to do is himself possess what forces such passionate cries from them.”

Mercy consists in this: that to unite a soul to Him, in this world His exercises all rights of justice over that soul, throwing it into the purging fire of ordeals… God’s holiness does not allow Him to unite with any soul burdened by the slightest sin. In this, His mercy too is transcendent: ours closes its eyes to wrong-doing, God’s demands all the more satisfaction in that it intends to confer more bliss.

“He alone knows the moment and the way. Have no plan for your life, just keep yourself free of anything that could prevent God from moving you as He wishes. Tastes and distastes are not to be considered.”
