Where do we begin? Begin with the heart.

...the goodness of God is the highest object of prayer and it reaches down to our lowest need.

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.

For we are so preciously loved by God that we cannot even comprehend it. No created being can ever know how much and how sweetly and tenderly God loves them. It is only with the help of his grace that we are able to persevere in spiritual contemplation with endless wonder at his high, surpassing, immeasurable love which our Lord in his goodness has for us.

We are in God and God whom we do not see is in us.

Wherefore me behoveth needs to grant that all-thing that is done, it is well-done: for our Lord God doeth all.

The Lord looks on his servants with pity and not with blame. In God's sight we do not fall; in our sight, we do not stand. Both of these are true, but the deeper insight belongs to God.
