- When I see the sun invade our cloisters with its rays,
I think that this is how God invades the soul that seeks only Him ! - - 2 -
- May He always be the Friend on whom you rely for everything.
- - 3 -
- Leave the books and work, and remain with God
in a wholly intimate heart-to-heart, in a gaze full of love. - - 4 -
- Go to draw strength in prayer, especially in that intimate heart-to-heart
in which the soul flows into God
and God flows into it to transform it into Himself. - - 5 -
- Lord, I offer You the cell of my heart; may it be Your little Bethany.
Come rest there ; I love You so. - - 6 -
Transfiguration of the Lord
- O my beloved Star, so fascinate me that I may not withdraw from Your radiance.
- - 7 -
- How great, how beautiful it is
This nature, O my God !
How great it is close to it
Raising our soul towards heavens ! - - 8 -
- Live in His intimacy as you would live with One you love, in a sweet heart-to-heart.
- - 9 -
- If anyone were to ask me the secret of happiness, I would say it is to no longer think of self.
- - 10 -
- In some way we begin our eternity,
living in communion with the three Divine Persons. What a mystery ! - - 11 -
- I am silent, I listen to Him...it is so good to hear everything He has to say.
- - 12 -
- I wish I could tell all souls what sources of strength,
of peace, and of happiness they would find
if they would only consent to live in this intimacy. - - 13 -
- We must do all things out of love ; we must constantly forget ourselves :
the good Lord so love us forgetting ourselves. - - 14 -
- Be His paradise in this country where He is so little known, so little loved,
open your heart wide to welcome Him...love ! He thirsts for love ! - - 15 -
Feast of the Assumption
- At each feast day of Mary, I renew my consecration.
So today I surrendered my self to her and once again, I threw myself into her arms.
With a whole confidence, I recommended my future, my vocation to her.
- - 16 -
- God...He “knows all, He can do all, and He loves us with so great a love ; it is Infinite !”
- - 17 -
- Don’t ever leave Him, do everything beneath His divine gaze
and remain wholly joyful in His peace and love, making those around you happy ! - - 18 -
- Let us remain in His love, for that is where He keeps a rendez-vous with us.
- - 19 -
- If you’d prefer to think that God is close to you rather than within you,
follow your attraction, as long you live with Him. - - 20 -
- Lord, I very simply come to you, with confidence, as I would come to a dear Friend.
- - 21 -
- The soul needs silence in order to adore.
- - 22 -
- May your soul be another Bethany where Jesus may come to rest,
and where you serve Him the banquet of love. - - 23 -
- We see in the Gospel that God sometimes wants to make us wait,
but He refuses nothing to faith, to trust, to love. - - 24 -
- Oh! let us grow each day in His love,
let us constantly be in communion with Him. Oh ! to see nothing but Him - - 25 -
- As for me, I am withdrawing in recollection into the depths of my soul
where the Holy Spirit dwells. - - 26 -
- As long as He would want to leave us here below, let us love,
let us love as much as we can, let us live of love... - - 27 -
- May my life be a continual prayer, a long act of love.
May nothing distract me from You, neither noise nor diversions, nothing. - - 28 -
- I leave you with these words of Saint Augustine :
“He is there when we think we are alone. He listens when nothings answers us,
He loves us when everything abandons us.” - - 29 -
- And meditation ? I would advise you to simplify all your reading, to
fill yourself a little less, you will see that this is much better.
Take your Crucifix, look, listen. - - 30 -
- With Jesus, I tackle everything, and I find everything charming,
nothing is difficult or boring. - - 31 -
- Sing night and day of the love of the Master. He is so good...
