That love of God is hard and marvelous. It cannot and will not be broken because of our sins.

God willeth to be seen and to be sought: to be abided and to be trusted.

But Jesus, who in this Vision informed me of all that is necessary for me, answered and said: It was necessary that there should be sin; but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.

For in the Third Showing when I saw that God does all that is done, I saw no sin: and then I saw that all is well. But when God showed me for sin, then said He: All SHALL be well.

When I was thirty years old and a half, God sent me a bodily sickness, in which I lay three days and three nights; and on the fourth night I took all my rites of Holy Church, and weened not to have lived till day.

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

Cheerful givers do not count the cost of what they give.
