Keep thyself with Jesus both in life and death, and commit thyself to His care who alone can help thee, when all others fail.
- Bk. II, ch. vii.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not: but like a lively flame, and a torch all on fire, it mounts upwards, and securely passes through all opposition.
-Bk. III, ch. x
______________
A few nights before her death Soeur Genevieve came into the infirmary, and found her with eyes raised to Heaven and hands joined in prayer: "What are you doing? You ought to be trying to sleep."
"I cannot, so I am praying."
"What do you say to Our Lord?"
"Nothing; I am just loving Him."
-Summarium
