Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.

Man can't do without God. Just like you're thirsty, you have to drink water. You just can't go without God.

Seeking the face of God in everything, everyone, everywhere, all the time, and seeing his hand in every happening-that is contemplation in the heart of the world.

Cheerfulness is a sign of a generous and mortified person who forgetting all things, even herself, tries to please her God in all she does for souls. Cheerfulness is often a cloak which hides a life of sacrifice and a continual union with God.
