Whoever resigns himself in love, Lives with greater freedom than anyone. Such a person lives without anxious care, For God cannot lose what is his ow… - Denis the Carthusian

As for the rational mind, it, too, should die to itself and live to God;
Not looking for its own rights,
Nor for promotion,
Nor any of the prizes of this world.
And let it not be turned back on itself,
But totally turned to God.

Each one of us must seek God alone,
Straining towards him both by reason
And by renouncing our own will
For the sake of the longed-for union with God.''

No one, therefore, can love God too much,
But on the contrary,
the more fervently he loves him,
The better and the holier he becomes.
