“The point is to love God a great deal. How is one to love God a great deal? By loving him little by little.... I fear that the sight of your weakness is making too great an impression on you; God’s mercy is infinitely greater than your weakness and poverty.... (Abbot Guéranger).

“The secret of joy, of security in the supernatural life, is to centre one’s attention upon God rather than on oneself.... To live the contemplative life is to reflect God in the depths on one’s soul because one is ceaselessly gazing at him; and, while we look at him, he is imprinting himself upon our soul.... You must not become tense during prayer, but relax and be at rest.” (Abbess Cécile Bruyère).

“Do your work well; avoid feverishness and excessive effort: success and progress come from God. We must do as much as in us lies, calmly, as if our activity were decisive and then enter ever more deeply into calm and confidence , as if everything were to come to us from God. One can never go too far in a spirit of self-abandonment to the Lord.” (Abbot Paul Delatte)
