"we can do nothing better than abandon ourselves to God."
When he was in much pain... he was asked what he busied his mind with:
"I am doing what I shall do, through all eternity--blessing God, praising God, adoring God, giving Him the love of my whole heart. It is our one business, my brethren, to worship Him and love Him, without thought of anything else."
God forbid... we are often:
"content rather with God's gifts than with Himself."
"We must make our heart a spiritual temple, wherein to adore Him incessantly."
"Let ALL our employment be to know God;
the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him.
And as knowledge is commonly the measure of love, the deeper and more extensive our knowledge shall be, the greater will be our love;
and if our love of God were great, we should love Him equally
in pains and pleasures."
