Meditation is a half-way house between thinking and contemplating.

I do hope your Christmas has had a little touch of Eternity in among the rush and pitter patter and all. It always seems such a mixing of this world and the next - but that after all is the idea!

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

If by losing the spirit of prayer, you mean losing the heavenly sensations of deep devotion, I am afraid that does not matter a scrap.

In the created world around us we see the Eternal Artist, Eternal Love at work.

The first question here, then, is not "What is best for my soul?" nor is it even "What is most useful to humanity?" But-transcending both these limited aims-what function must this life fulfill in the great and secret economy of God?

If God were small enough to be understood, He would not be big enough to be worshipped.
