The present moment is always full of infinite treasure. It contains far more than you can possibly grasp. Faith is the measure of its riches: what you find in the present moment is according to the measure of your faith. Love also is the measure: the more the heart loves, the more it rejoices in what God provides. The will of God presents itself at each moment like an immense ocean that the desire of your heart cannot empty; yet you will drink from that ocean according to your faith and love.
Jean-Pierre de CaussadeAll simple souls must admire and respect one another, saying: 'Let us proceed each one along our path to the same goal, united in purpose and by means of God's order which, in its great variety, is in us all.
Jean-Pierre de CaussadeWe must offer ourselves to God like a clean, smooth canvas and not worry ourselves about what God may choose to paint on it, but at each moment, feel only the stroke of His brush.
Jean-Pierre de CaussadeGod speaks to every individual through what happens to them moment by moment.
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 CaussadeThe soul, light as a feather, fluid as water, innocent as a child, responds to every movement of grace like a floating balloon.
