“‘I will lead the blind by a road they do not know, by paths they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them’ (Isa 42:16).” (Page xvii)
“When spiritual persons cannot meditate, they should learn to remain in God’s presence with a loving attention and a tranquil intellect … For little by little and very soon the divine calm and peace with a wondrous, sublime knowledge of God, enveloped in divine love, will be infused into their souls.” (Page 11)
“To be Christian is not to maintain, it is to transform.” (Page xx)
