In the shadow of death he produces life, and though the senses are terrified, faith taking all for the best, is full of courage and assurance.

God 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.

If we wish to quench our thirst, we must lay aside books which explain thirst and take a drink.

The present moment holds infinite riches beyond your wildest dreams.

In the shadow of death he produces life, and though the senses are terrified, faith taking all for the best, is full of courage and assurance.

What God arranges for us to experience at each moment is the best and holiest thing that could happen to us.

To love God in great things is not so perfect an act of faith as to worship them in small ones.
