"My heart will no longer be mine, because I am not my own anymore. My heart will belong only to God: He is my love!" (St. Paul of the Cross)
"Paul used to say that this feast was the blessed anniversary of that day on which he took leave of the world and wore the habit of the Passion for the first time. It was the day on which, in the flower of his youth, he offered himself to the Divine Majesty. Thus, he imitated the heavenly Queen who presented herself in the temple as a sacrifice most pleasing to the heart of God." (From the Life of Venerable Paul of the Cross by Saint Vincent Mary Strambi, bishop)
