LIVING IN GOD (union with God, hunger for God…):
- I rejoice in holding dear the sentiments of Saint Augustin: “I only seek You, Lord. Lord, I only desire You. Considering that God wants to live in me more that I wish to live in Him… (p. 20)
- I cast myself into His arms and I wait for the type of union that He wants to give me… (p. 62)
- I pray laboriously. It seems very difficult to achieve inner peace, which is what I’m searching for, solely by love of virtue. I understand that everything is made easy by superimposing the hunger for God above desire… (p. 61)
- I can’t begin to say how much I took pleasure this afternoon in desiring a union with God. I discovered this life of union with the clarity and light with which He sometimes illuminates me. (p. 66)
- Uniting with God is my greatest ambition… (p. 70)
- I live with the certainty of achieving union with God, of transforming my small being into the immense being of the Lord. (p. 71)
- I sense a desire for a new life, one that is only of God…of surrender in the hands of God. (p. 75)
- It has been about two years now since I gave myself to God in a new way… (p. 76)
- I am coming to understand that being all for God is equivalent to total surrender, like losing myself in God and disregarding myself completely. (p. 77)
- I will do this by uniting my inner self with God and by seeing his hand in everything that happens. (p. 96.)
- I don’t want to get rid of them, but rather make good use of them, since I believe they are a shortcut to unite myself with God. (p. 115)
