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

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.

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.

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