I am more weary of life without God than life with afflictions.

I longed to be a flame of fire continually glowing in the divine service and building up of Christ's kingdom to my last and dying breath.

I am not my own; I am bought with a price.

I spent most of my time in prayer and meditation.

I love to be alone in my cottage, where I can spend much time in prayer.
