Do not let your "eye" be drawn by the false "beacon lamps" -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.
John of the CrossBeloved, all that is harsh and difficult I want for myself, and all that is gentle and sweet for thee.
John of the CrossThe eternal tide flows hid in Living Bread. That with its Heavenly Life too be fed.
