I have an idea heaven will be both absolutely happy and absolutely dark, to protect us from the blaze of God.

Never let yourself think that because God has given you many things to do for Himpressing routine jobs, a life full up with duties and demands of a very practical sort---that all these need separate you from communion with Him. God is always coming to you in the Sacrament of the Present Moment. Meet and receive Him there with gratitude in that sacrament; however unexpected its outward form may be receive Him in every sight and sound, joy, pain, opportunity and sacrifice.

This is the secret of joy. We shall no longer strive for our own way; but commit ourselves, easily and simply, to God's way, acquiesce in His will, and in so doing find our peace.

It looks impossible until you do it, and then you find it is possible.

Christian history looks glorious in retrospect; but it is made up of constant hard choices and unattractive tasks, accepted under the pressure of the Will of God.

Never forget that the key of the situation lies in the will & not in the imagination.

In prayer the soul comes nearest the experience of absolute love: in belief it ascends by means of symbols towards absolute truth.
