“After loving our Lord, I recommend loving his bride, the Church. She is the noble and delicate dove, the only one capable of bearing children to her divine Spouse” (St. Jeanne de Chantal).

LOVE AND KNOWLEDGE
“Knowledge without love inflates; love without knowledge falls into error” (St. Bernard).
St. Bernard bequeathed this maxim to us. He himself affirmed that “to burn is better than to know.” And so it is!
GOD’S LOVE IS GREATER
“Be serene and joyful, for my love is greater than your weakness” (Inner Word).
HOLY SOBRIETY
“One can doubt man’s disposition, but not God’s plans, which will be fulfilled in a timely and importunate manner, even amidst of errors and darkness” (Interior Word).
A HOLY SERVICE
“Address your prayers to me so that I may carry out the work of my love in all souls” (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
DO I SUFFER WELL?
“It is true that I suffer much, but do I suffer well? That is the question.” (St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus)
THE POWER OF SIMPLICITY
“The simpler a thing is, the more force and power it possesses.” (Meister Eckhart)
MAKE ROOM FOR GOD
“God has as much room on earth as man grants Him.” (Meister Eckhart)
Indeed, the extent to which our Father can be present in our lives and rule over them depends on us. Is our life with God, or even in God? We know that our Father wants to conquer our heart and does not coerce us in any way; he knocks at our door, and does not open it by force (cf. Rev 3:20).
THE LOVE OF GOD BEGETS OUR LOVE
“The love of God begets the love of the soul. God is the first to direct His attention to the soul, and so it fixes itself on Him. He takes care of it, and so it begins to take care of Him.” (St. Bernard)
THE FOCUS OF THE HEART
“Gather all the forces of your heart and concentrate on one thing so that your heart does not become accustomed to a restless attitude” (St. Hildegard of Bingen).
