That's all an angel is....an idea of God.

Once a man came to me - it was not too long ago - and said that he had given away much landed property and many goods for his own sake so that he might save his soul. Then I thought: 'How little and how insignificant is what you have let go of! It is blindness and foolishness for you to continue looking at all you've let go of. If, however, you've let go of yourself, then you've really let go.'

A life of rest and peace in God is good; a life of pain lived in patience is still better; but to have peace in a life of pain is best of all.

God does not work in all hearts alike, but according to the preparation and sensitivity He finds in each.

Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.

That's all an angel is....an idea of God.

Whatever God does, the first outburst is always compassion.
