If we really want to achieve true prayer, we must turn our backs upon everything temporal, everything external, everything that is not divine.
Johannes TaulerIf ye keep watch over your hearts, and listen for the Voice of God and learn of Him, in one short hour ye can learn more from Him than ye could learn from Man in a thousand years.
Johannes TaulerIn the most intimate, hidden and innermost ground of the soul, God is always essentially, actively, and substantially present. Here the soul possesses everything by grace which God possesses by nature.
