Peace and love are ever in us, being and working; but we be not alway in peace and in love.

Pray inwardly, even if you do not enjoy it. It does good, though you feel nothing. Yes, even though you think you are doing nothing.

Because of the Shewing I am not good but if I love God the better: and in as much as ye love God the better, it is more to you than to me.

Wouldst thou learn thy Lord's meaning in this thing? Learn it well: Love was His meaning. Who shewed it thee? Love. What shewed He thee? Love. Wherefore shewed it He? For Love. Hold thee therein and thou shalt learn and know more in the same. But thou shalt never know nor learn therein other thing without end. Thus was I learned that Love was our Lord's meaning.

All will be well, and every kind of thing will be well.

God is nearer to us than our own spirit

The ground of mercy is love, and the working of mercy is our keeping in love.
