August 9
The closer I am to the embrace of God, the sweeter is the kiss of God.
The more lovingly we both embrace, the more difficult it is for me to depart.
The more God gives me, the more I can give, and still have more. The more quickly I leave
the Lord, the sooner I must return. The more the fire burns, the more my own light increases.
The more that I am consumed by love, the brighter I shall shine! The greater my praise of God, greater
my desire is to love the Lord.
