A happy, thousandfold happy soul,<\/em>
\nWho loves God for God’s sake,<\/em>
\nWho loves Him more than his own life.<\/em><\/p>\n

To love Him above life,<\/em>
\nis to love Him regardless of what the senses feel, selflessly,<\/em>
\nis to love the annihilating ways by which He leads,<\/em>
\nis to love Him for Him alone,<\/em>
\nis to lose oneself completely in His liking.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
