I dream of a love that I have not yet found explained in any book… and even less recommended in advice for nuns. I dream that it is possible to give everyone a great deal of gentle love, which would arise from the human heart and yet spring from God's love, so that it would not lead to the unfortunate confusion of the senses. Why should nuns have to close their hearts more, instead of opening them more, not only in depth but also in expression? I assure you that the world needs love…

From the Sahara to the whole world 242)
