The soul, light as a feather, fluid as water, innocent as a child, responds to every movement of grace like a floating balloon.
Jean-Pierre de CaussadeIf we wish to quench our thirst, we must lay aside books which explain thirst and take a drink.
Jean-Pierre de CaussadeThere is not a moment in which God does not present Himself under the cover of some pain to be endured, of some consolation to be enjoyed, or of some duty to be performed. All that takes place within us, around us, or through us, contains and conceals His divine action.
Jean-Pierre de CaussadeAll created things are living in the Hand of God. The senses see only the action of the creatures; but faith sees in everything the action of God.
Jean-Pierre de CaussadeGod makes all chosen souls pass through a fearful time of poverty, misery, and nothingness. He desires to destroy in them gradually all the help and confidence they derive from themselves so that He may be their sole source of support, their confidence, their hope, their only resource.
