Ask, and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
He who is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he who is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he neither has rest himself, nor does he permit others to rest.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
