Best Conversations

“O my God, I want to work for Your glory and for that I must be wholly filled with You and You are love.  Then I shall be all-powerful.  A look, a desire will become a prayer that cannot be resisted and that can obtain everything.  Apostle, Carmelite, it is all one!”

The Hidden Life

” My God, I believe You are really present in my heart and see all that passes and will pass within me and in all creatures.  What can I fear when I am with You?  Do with me as You please, for I wish nothing but Yourself and to be all Yours.”
