"As baptized Christians, united to Jesus, every action we perform is transformed by the Power of His Spirit, into a healing balm for the disease of sin, a consoling light for those in darkness.... United to Jesus, living His life, and Loving as He Loved, the Christian may be hidden from the eyes of the world, but the heart of the world feels every prayer and every action he performs for love of Jesus."

"It is those who are putting forth great effort to become like Jesus that God plunges into the darkness of dryness and into an awareness of their imperfections. So begins the purification of our faculties-Memory, Understanding, and Will-and the beginning of our ascent to the Mountain of Holiness."
