Louis Lallemant

Louis Lallemant (1578 – 5 April 1635) was a French Jesuit. Quotes God alone has right of sovereignty over hearts. Neither secular powers, nor the Church herself, extend their dominion thus far. What passes there depends not on them. There God alone is King. It is His own proper realm. There He establishes His throne of grace. This interior kingdom it is that constitutes His glory. Our perfection and our happiness consist in the subjection of our heart to this empire of God. The more our heart submits to Him, the more perfect and the more happy shall we be.
