"God does not want you to experience the feeling of love for Him and your neighbor in a perceptible manner...How fortunate we are to be held so tightly to our heavenly tutor! We need do no more than we are doing at present: that is to love divine Providence and abandon ourselves in his arms and Heart. No, my God, I desire no greater pleasure than my faith, my hope, my love; to be able only to say sincerely, even if sometimes without feeling, that I would rather die than abandon this virtue."  St. Pio of Pietrelcina
