Paul of the Cross'

“…That is what God wishes of you, that is, that you be burnt up by the fire of trials, and then from these ashes will come a spark of the fire of love that will inflame everything…” ~Paul of the Cross to Thomas Fossi – 7th letter on December 12, 1738 in Vol. 1 on Page 247 for Paul's Letter 202) “…Your desires are good, for God gives them to animate you for the needs of the Church, which are very great. But you must let them die in the fire of the love of God, whence they proceed, and wait for the time that God wills the effect. Meanwhile, cultivate one perfect desire, that is, to please the Lord always more and to feed yourself on the Will of God…” ~Paul of the Cross to Thomas Fossi – 148th letter on July 13, 1768 in Vol. 3 on Page 435 for Paul's Letter 1729)
