“ In the heavenly place all are in all, all are one, and all are our own. If I am there, the Grace of the All-Holy Mother of God is all of it in me, but not as coming forth or springing from Mary, rather as mine and inside me, not as if it was coming from outside ... Whatever one has there, the other too has the same, but not from the other or in the other, rather in his self. Thus I say, that the Grace that there is in someone, there is all of it in the other as his own Grace. This is how a spirit dwells in another spirit.”
“ Why should I complain, when the gifts of all people are mine? Trully, I would be so satisfied with whatever God would do to me or with whatever He would grant or not grant me, that I wouldn’t give a penny in order to have the kind of life that might seem to me better.”
“ Dedication to prayer, to fast, to vigils and to all sorts of external exercises and mortifications, dedication to whatever work, denies you the freedom to serve God inside this present now and to follow Him, Him alone, in the light in which He guides you what to do and what to leave - in each now free and new, as if you had not, nor wanted, nor could do anything else.”
