4 quotes

If you think that you love God, but in your heart lives an unpleasant disposition toward even one person, you are grievously self-deluded.

He who has felt spiritual love will only despise carnal love, seeing it for the unsightly parody of love that it is.

Do you want to learn to love God? Separate yourself from any word, deed, thought and feeling forbidden by the Gospels.

It is harder to fool the conscience than the mind. The conscience is capable of fighting long and hard against the mind deluded by its love of sin.
