Concerning the harsh treatment of the body for our Lord's sake, I would say, avoid anything that would cause the shedding even of a drop of blood.

I can love a person in this life only insofar as he tries to advance in the praise and service of God our Lord; for the man who loves anything for itself and not for the sake of God, does not love God with his whole heart.

For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

May God our Lord never let me harm anyone when I cannot help him!

May the perfect grace and eternal love of Christ our Lord be our never-failing protection and help.

We should love the body insofar as it is obedient and helpful to the soul, since the soul, with the body's help and service, is better disposed for the service and praise of our Creator and Lord.
