Quote of the day: 6 February

There are three signs of inner recollection:

1. a lack of satisfaction in passing things;
2. a liking for solitude and silence, and an attentiveness to all that is more perfect; and,
3. the considerations, meditations, and acts that formerly helped the soul now hinder it, and it brings to prayer no other support than faith, hope, and love.
