The soul, light as a feather, fluid as water, innocent as a child, responds to every movement of grace like a floating balloon.

To love God in great things is not so perfect an act of faith as to worship them in small ones.

The duties of each moment are the shadows beneath which hides the divine operation.

There is no peace more wonderful than the peace we enjoy when faith shows us God in all created things.

If we wish to quench our thirst, we must lay aside books which explain thirst and take a drink.

All created things are living in the Hand of God. The senses see only the action of the creatures but faith sees in everything the action of God.

We must offer ourselves to God like a clean, smooth canvas and not worry ourselves about what God may choose to paint on it, but at each moment, feel only the stroke of His brush.

When you happen to be entirely unoccupied with created things so that you seem to be thinking of nothing and desiring nothing, you should know that then your soul in unconsciously occupied with God and in God.

God makes all chosen souls pass through a fearful time of poverty, misery, and nothingness. He desires to destroy in them gradually all the help and confidence they derive from themselves so that He may be their sole source of support, their confidence, their hope, their only resource.

God speaks to every individual through what happens to them moment by moment.

The present moment holds infinite riches beyond your wildest dreams.

God instructs the heart, not by ideas but by pains and contradictions.

The books the Holy Spirit is writing are living, and every soul a volume in which the divine author makes a true revelation of his word, explaining it to every heart, unfolding it in every moment.

What God arranges for us to experience at each moment is the best and holiest thing that could happen to us.
