Let your thoughts be elevated! Thoughts about God! Thoughts about things that are the fulfillment of God's will... Let your mind be busy with holy things, things that refer to God's will.

Pensieri
Pensieri elevati! Pensieri a Dio! Pensieri alle cose che sono il compimento della volontà di Dio... La mente sia occupata in cose sante, di volontà di Dio. venerdì 11 aprile 2008
Prayer an Expression of our love for God
True piety takes hold of the entire being and leads it to love God. It is the fulfilment of the first commandment: "Love the Lord with the mind, heart and will".
The soul that unites itself to God has but one aspiration: love!
All the prayers of such a person are an expression of love, even if there are requests for temporal goods; these are made only if they lead to the glory of God. At the root of all one's prayers there is but one request: love!
If one adores, it is for love,
If one gives thanks, it is for love,
Asking pardon for sins is also out of love.
