Make use of this very simple aspiration: you and I, my love, you and I, you and I, and never another nor more! To which you could add some burning words like: "since you are entirely good and all goodness itself; since you are entirely glorious and all glory itself; since you are entirely holy and all holiness itself!

— John of St. Samson Traditions of Spiritual Guidance (1987)

More quotes by John of St. Samson

My exercise consists in a total elevation of the spite above all created and sense-objects.

Every soul, touched by God, feels and believes in the depths of its being that it is more sinful than all men together.

The more a person strives after God, the more earnest he will become--the les he will converse with men.

"I beg everyone from the highest to the lowest to forgive me; I have given them all much very bad example."

The obedience of those, purified in soul and body in the furnace of humiliation, is of infinite worth to God.
