God is all that is good, as to my sight, and the goodness that each thing hath, it is He.

As we know, our own mother bore us only into pain and dying. But our true mother, Jesus, who is all love, bears us into joy and endless living. Blessed may he be.

Until I am essentially united with God, I can never have full rest or real happiness.

We are kept all as securely in Love in woe as in weal, by the Goodness of God.

The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.

Every act of kindness and compassion done by any man for his fellow Christian is done by Christ working within him.

This is our Lord’s will, that our prayer and our trust be both alike large. For if we trust not as much as we pray, we do not full worship to our Lord in our prayer, and also we tarry and pain our self. The cause is, as I believe, that we know not truly that our Lord is Ground on whom our prayer springeth; and also that we know not that it is given us by the grace of His love. For if we knew this, it would make us to trust to have, of our Lord’s gift, all that we desire. For I am sure that no man asketh mercy and grace with true meaning, but if mercy and grace be first given to him.
