"We judge oftentimes according to our own heart and our own affections and not according to the truth, for we lose the true judgment through our private love...Many persons, through a secret love that they have for themselves, work indiscreetly according to their own will and not according to the will of God, and yet they know it not. They seem to stand in great inward peace when things follow according to their own mind, but if it follow otherwise than they would, quickly they are moved with impatience and are very heavy and pensive."
