It is love for God that 'counts' in prayer. Someone who gives his entire attention to God in love and reverence might find himself rising to the 'heights' with no effort, as if on a magic carpet - unlike those who try to storm Heaven with loud demands. The Saints lean down, to encourage us all to approach God with patience and humility.

As a seagull soars effortlessly on high, resting on the winds as it gazes all around, so the soul can soar effortlessly in prayer, 'resting' on the Spirit's power, gazing towards Heaven, towards the invisible Father Whose touch is felt, but Who cannot yet be seen.

There are many different ways of praying, and many different interior attitudes; what matters is our sincere love for God

God's love for us is like a vast body of water which can never be depleted, nor ever cease to flow.

Some people do not believe in the 'bridge to Heaven', which is Christ; or they allow themselves to be carried away by the crowd to follow another, Godless way of life.

Just as the people of God in Moses' time were led by a pillar of fire, a true contemplative today can be guided interiorly as if by a strong sweet fire. It teaches and consoles in just the way that Christ does.

The Blessed Trinity is alive in Eternity, like a triple ring of light, glory, perpetual delight and exaltation.

Whenever a true friend of God waits before Him, the Lord must swiftly reach down, to draw His friend to His heart.

Christ is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. We please and honour God when we kneel to thank Him for allowing us to do His work on earth - especially priests.

God saw that His creation was good and He continues to care for it

Christ is pleased by our devotion to Him at the tabernacle. He leans like a king from a palace window, arms open wide, to give a lovely greeting. He is alive, and risen, and Present with us. He with one with the Father and Holy Spirit, pictured close by Him.

As a child rests after playing in a snowfield, so I can rest in God, cradled in His Divinity, whenever I turn to Him in trust.

God is simple: God is love: an outpouring love, so powerful and pure that He is like a torrent of flame which either burns or consoles.
