St. John of the Cross

If

You might quiet the whole world if you pray. And if you love, if you really love, our guns will wilt.

Emptiness and Abundance

The soul is not empty, so long as the desire for sensible things remains. But the absence of this desire for things produces emptiness and liberty of soul, even when there is an abundance of possessions.

All I Do

Forever at his door
I gave my heart and soul. My fortune too.
I've no flock any more,
no other work in view.
My occupation: Love. It's all I do.
