“Today we read in the book of experience.” “We are reformed by Christ into the spirit of freedom.” “In primo opere me mihi dedit, et ubi se dedit, me mihi reddidit (in creation, he gave me myself, and where he gave himself, he returned me to myself.) “Causa diligendi Deum, Deus est; modus, sine modo diligere” (God is the cause of loving God; the measure is to love without measure.) St. Bernard of Clairvaux.
