Liber Conscientiae - Forward

Perfection is not, as some think, a high, great, spiritual, heavenly joy and meditation, but it is a denial of one’s own will, love, honor, a knowledge of one’s nothingness, a continual completion of the will of God, a burning love for neighbor, a heart-held compassion, and, in a word, a love that desires, thinks, and seeks nothing other than God alone insofar as this is possible in the weakness of this life.
